Sorry to butt in here -

Can anyone fill me in on this? I don't really use Twitch or really follow any influencers so I'm a bit lost as to what happened that's bad. Just a link or brief explanation would be nice to help follow along.

Probably the biggest take away from all if it is how he made no attempt to ask the WHM what they were doing to either ask them to to tone it down more to his liking or even get a feel for if they had a handle on it as things where (which looked to be the situation in the clips). I don't particularly blame him for ignoring the sea of trolls that came after him, but it seemed clear that he was happy to remain completely ignorant of any enlightenment about the situation.

A terrible tank took umbrage with a good healer. Woe is he. Let's not give that piece of shit any more recognition, hmm?

We should focus on being constructive, I really think consolidating the information we have gathered amongst our own findings at launch is the best way to go forward, then we can give proper elucidated feedback on how we can improve the healer feel and gameplay as the expansion progresses and hopefully lead up to a well made 4th healer. Better late than never, it's about time we got the actual opinions on healers out not the "iz oki plz wait until out" like we have like Stormbloods Lilies etc.

Now that I've seen more of the posts. I think I have a better grasp of the situation. It's bad players misinterpreting the fact that good players being efficient with their gcds as "OMG I must dps as much as possible". What I was giving Sebazy a "goldfish" moment with was that the lack of context made it seem more like they where being arrogant. It sounds less so with the context and I'll apologize for that.

As for me, I'm still gonna be optimistic. I like playing the healers boring rotation and all and I've no issues defending that. Are there things they could improve on? Sure. But until then I guess I'm gonna chill in my fishbowl and be positive about what I got and what I'm getting.

Lmao sounds good, I'm sorry for being passive also, being optimistic is the best, I'm just bitter from all these expansions we have held out hope. The healers are far from unplayable, we just need to keep giving feedback where we can I guess.

I was main AST and now i will play Scholar ... what a retard change, AST have basicly just 1 damage card, so fun ... wow ... no new healer for those kind of stupid change. The 6 years of waiting are so Worth it !!

Well they'll have their data as a good chunk of their healer mains drop healing or the game entirely. They'll realize they messed up and hopefully scramble to correct themselves.

It's not my job to play armchair dev, I'm not fixing the system they broke for them. They don't pay me for that.

I've made very clear across multiple forums my displeasure and where it stems from. It's their job as a developer to design their systems. Building upon the old one would have been fine, even this new one would have been fine if it had maintained some of it's identity and diversity.

They didn't, so I'm dissatisfied and I will voice my displeasure every chance I get to let them know they messed up and I'm not happy about it.

They'll fix it and get my money or they won't, and they won't. I show my displeasure with my wallet because like you said, a company only understands numbers.
