I think SE should improve the bonus: If the role is bad enough to make a #strike, to convince me to play it they have to give me something substantial in exchange.
let's say some RNG item (minion, mount, consumable....)

I have 10,000 needles,
I'm not a weaver,
and I'm not scared to use them.
Maybe they should fix the role first and make it fun and interesting. Maybe they should also consider giving DPS more responsibilities in parties too, which is the primary reason why people don't go support, as they shy away from those.
Maybe there is nothing to "fix" , or better "no fix could change your opinion"?
Although I think the dps could have a little more responsibility (I proposed it myself some time ago, with conflicting opinions) I don't think someone chooses to play a DPS class to avoid responsibility, but rather because everyone wants to be a striker and no one wants to be a goalkeeper.
In short, it is an unsolvable "trinity" problem.

So if there is only a few goalkeepers and many strikers but the strikers only want to play strikers what’s the point of changing the goalkeeper position to better suit the strikers at the expense of the people who like being a goalkeeper when the strikers have fully said they don’t want to be goalkeepersMaybe there is nothing to "fix" , or better "no fix could change your opinion"?

And who is changing anything?So if there is only a few goalkeepers and many strikers but the strikers only want to play strikers what’s the point of changing the goalkeeper position to better suit the strikers at the expense of the people who like being a goalkeeper when the strikers have fully said they don’t want to be goalkeepers
This is the striker asking the goalkeeper to be a striker.Healers are boring because they spend most of their time spamming a single offensive ability.
It's a fundamental design issue I never encountered in any of the other MMOs I've played and one that's easily remedied by giving them more offensive abilities and/or changing how damage is structured in the average encounter so they actually need to use their GCD healing buttons outside of emergencies.

I mean yoshi p has explicitly said on many occasions they are designing healers to hope DPS players play them as well, ask long term dedicated healer mains and I doubt you’ll find many who prefer the modern slop over the old healers
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
Ok, but where is the meat, because this is chewing the fat. If/when there is something to discuss we'll discuss.
