all-Healers should get archivment mounts

[Ardeth]

I think it's odd that the only one is the unicorn. They absolutely should have them. That's the point is to get people to do it and reward them accordingly.

The only one I say no for is DPS. As it was never an issue to fill. It's a role that doesn't need incentives. But healers do absolutely.

Healers should get achievement mounts, not because of them being stressful, but so that people actually play them and endure how boring they can be to help queues pop.

tbh the real reason they should is dealing with the amount of people that push your buttons some even doing it on purpose its basicly has to "suck it up" cuz every counter it has basicly u get punished for walking away from that party get a penality for 30mins then chances are you deal with it again after that 30mins, you say something or refuse to revive them until they do it correctly u get reported its basicly taking healers hostage lol

It was to get people to play healer in low level content back in early ARR because SCH started at level 30. So you got rewarded to play a Conjurer up to level 30.
(Of course nobody played SCH back in early ARR and there was no healer shortage, but that was the idea)

Healers should get a lot more rewards for having to deal with the dev team's neglect.

true consindering they put up with it on every side players, streamers and the dev team itself lol

Conjurer got it due to historical things, it was very difficult to get to Gridania long time ago.

What would the mounts even be for the other healers? It doesn't even make sense that other healers would get them. This should be a White Mage only thing. In fact I think they should add more White Mage only mounts. White Mage's have a bond with nature that the other healers don't, so it makes sense that they would have special mounts.

I'm only kind of joking.

I mean sure go ahead I've no issues with that as a thing, but I think the tank achievement mounts failed because you just farm them and then go back to not playing the role.

If you want to encourage playing non-dps roles, you'd be better off making job adjustments and changes to the core system that make those roles more appealing.

white mage you could so something funny with like a torandoo mount thats rideable or a floating stone

Kind of expected this thread to just be here and see nothing but posts from players being madge about the recent FRU clear with no healers and how they want compensation from Yoshi-P and the devs.

Healers shouldn't get mounts the same way that the tanks do when it comes to doing content to earn them. If they want to do it like how you get the Unicorn mount for playing Conjurer to 30 then that's fine. But achievement reward for playing healer in certain content like tank has? They definitely shouldn't.

Lets be blunt here: there are alot of healers out there that are just complete dogshit. Be it from the heal bots that deal no DPS, to DPS healers that do no heals, to those who refuse to heal you because either they/you/the party are toxic/"being toxic", etc etc etc. Healers might be FF14's punching bags when it comes to, well everything pretty much lets face it, but the last thing the healer job needs is for an incentive to be added to reward players for simply "playing healer".

Example: You get a duty with a White mage that only casts Regen on players for healing and tells you and the rest of the party to go fuck yourselves for telling them to do more then use Regen to heal and to deal with it since they only want to deal damage. You all still clear the content. Did the White Mage do their job?

While the answer will obviously vary between players, and there are obviously factors to consider in each scenario, for a good chunk of players: as long as the content gets cleared, how other players' play is completely irrelevant to them since all that matters is that said content they're doing is cleared. Having a healer mount reward for just playing healing would not get people to play healer, it would get people to "play healer".

Plus lets face it, ultimately if they did add a healer mount achievement reward it would just follow suit to how the tank mount achievement is done by most players, aka: finding the lowest level and fastest to clear 8-man raid that counts towards completion of the achievement, getting a party, and just spamming that fight 100/200 times and get the mount quickly and then move on so they don't have to touch the job again.
