Is the healerstrike still a thing?

Whatever you see here on the forums is a tiny minority. If you actually go off the forums and play the game for 1 day you realize this. Even at the height of the strike thread and all its media attention, you would be matched with healers in roulettes. The vast majority of casual players don't pay attention to veteran or hardcore players making noise on the forums:
- You will still meet healers in roulettes.
- You will still meet them in PF.
- You will still be able to join parties as a Machinist.
etc

Not saying their concerns aren't valid, but the majority of players are too new or casual to care about these 10 year player concerns.

Yes it's a thing, but the post is 50% requesting support from healer mains from rest of community that something has to change. It is not intended to stop people from playing healer. The post is highly populated and people can say what they want, but dev team gets list of the top forum posts from each region daily so they are seeing it.

I really feel like if that was the case, a lot more issues would get addressed such as the cosmic progression issues many worlds are facing. At best it's probably once a month, causing lots of posts to be missed. And most likely the focus is on the other forums because this is a General forum and posts fly by really fast here. Sometimes they are page 2 the same day they were made.

As people pointed out, it was never a thing, and made no difference to most of the playerbase. Yet. The combination of every "small" problem the game has will eventually have an impact on its future, if unaddressed. Right now, FFXIV is seeing a record number of players unsubbing, and some of those are healer mains.

The forums have always been an extreme minority, if the devs listened to the forums they would come away thinking the entire playerbase is schizophrenic.

"We want change!"
"Ok we've made the change."
"NOOO WHY DID YOU CHANGE!"

The only other forum I've come across that is just as inconsistent and whiny as the FF14 forums is the the WoW forums.

The healerstrike is a none issue, players makes noise when they care.
The problem is when issue stays non adressed and people stop complaining.
Thats the moment you are in big trouble because it means they don't care anymore.
When players stop caring they are less hesistant to move away from the game.

You'd better have a forum and reddit full of players complaining than an inactive one.

I find it so funny how half the people gleefully snarking about the devs not listening to healers are also complaining about the rest of the game being creatively bankrupt.

Isn’t it so hilarious how those snarky healers didn’t get what they want. Their stupid strike was pointless and I’m glad square didn’t listen to them

Now here’s my 8th post today about why cosmic is unbalanced and they should fix it

More like a tankstrike

I personally agree with the healerstrike, i just realised it doesn't really matter considering how bad the game is anyway lol.
