#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Kohashi]

Did you really ask ''who is we'' in the healer strike thread with 900 pages of criticisms and complaints from dozens, if not hundreds of people?

Oh, I get it.. the 20 people + their alts spamming/farming this into oblivion somehow think they are the majority representative of the player base. Let me just..lol. Out of touch with reality much?

PS: apparently some have been playing a healer in this game for 14 years too. Pure comedy.

Well, the game did release in 2010. Sure, maybe they're forgetting to factor in that 'we are now in 2025' doesn't really count because we're only 21 days in, and sure, maybe they're also forgetting to factor in the 10ish months of time the game went offline to turn it into ARR. But I'd say it's entirely possible for someone to say 'I've played a healer in FFXIV for 14 years' and it be mostly true

As for how many people have participated in the thread, I'd link the spreadsheet that one person made to try and show that either A: the people complaining are too casual to have any understanding of how Healer kits work in high end content (the content they're really designed for), or B: that the people complaining are too hardcore to understand how the things they're asking for will ruin the casual's play experience, and so said hardcore player is out of touch. Unfortunately, said spreadsheet no longer seems to exist, likely because the person saw the data show that actually, we have some casuals, some hardcores, and everything in between. Plus, it was incredibly silly of them to imply that 'level of skill/content completed = how much of an opinion you're allowed' when it comes to something as wide reaching as 'job design'.

We've had a lot more unique posters than '20 plus some alts'. We might not be 'the majority', but there's no need to make up numbers like that, it makes your argument/stance on the matter look incredibly fragile



As for 'how many Healers do we have in the playerbase, vs how many DPS/Tank', the only numbers I've seen about the topic came from someone who was diametrically opposed to me on the subject. And the numbers they quoted showed that HW actually had the highest 'percentage of playerbase' as Healer mains, at almost 25%. Ever since SB, it's been lower, with a small bump in EW due to SGE's release but never reaching those HW peaks again. So, if the changes over the years that were meant to attract non-Healers to the Healer role, haven't, then why keep going down the road when we can see it's not working? Sunk cost fallacy? Too much pride to admit to failures? We may never know, which is sad, because FFXIV was reborn from its potential 1.0 induced death precisely because they were able to say 'we messed up and we're going to work to fix it'

Now I have to find out; am I an alt of Roe? Snow? Ty? Zaytex? Maybe I'm somehow Striker trying to argue incessantly to keep the thread on the front page? Maybe we're all secretly the same guy. Maybe I don't exist. Do you exist? Maybe you're Striker in a different hat. Maybe I'm you, maybe you're me.

Or maybe, since that'd be a huge waste of money to stay subbed to create fake arguments on a forum, we're all actually individuals that have complaints over the years with how healers are designed and you merely disagree, but instead of a mere disagreement, you're peddling conspiracies.

And yes, the guys and gals who have played healers for 14 years, who have knowledge of both how they play now and how they used to play, can make an informed comparison over which they find better. I don't see how that's comedy? You'll have to explain the joke to me.

You can be my alt, you have my permission

Well I was once told I was an alt of Supersnow, despite the fact that we don't talk the same way, have the same experiences or even agree sometimes.

I'll be your Alarasong Two.

All the more proof of an elaborate ruse! If you agreed with Supersnow on everything, and talked like him, why, it'd be too easy! So you had to craft some disagreement to throw off the paper trail, but I can see through your silly little game.

Everyone is my alt apparently. Somehow I ended up the most recognisable one

We are Supersnow. Your consciousness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

Ah, so that's why some of the people who disagreed eventually disappeared, they were assimilated into the Supersnow consciousness and now are one of the alts.

You guys are cringe as hell, holy F..

Forums represent a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the player base. Thinking you are representative of anything is just hilarious.

You can discuss, suggest stuff, or disagree with how things are designed but please do a reality check before you start saying.. OMG, we have 1k pages then it means SE should change things. Most of you cannot come up with a competent idea or anything even worthee to look at let alone implement it.

So you accuse us of all being alts and when we laugh at the implications we are the cringey ones and this somehow means square should implement our suggestions because this thread is 1k pages

I don’t know whether this nonsensical leap in logic is better or worse than you accusing a fraction of a fraction of trying to dictate the game then unilaterally declare that every idea we have ever had is terrible. Like have you ever actually explained your stance on healer design
