Being a passable DPS (being able to beat the DPS requirements in extremes and Savage content) is significantly more demanding than being a healer who's managing to keep people alive and not much else in that same content.And healing is objectively more difficult than DPS because you need to be aware of your own character in addition to the rest of the party while still executing the same mechanics. A bad healer will always wipe the party but a bad DPS can truly get carried throughout almost the entire game.

				Ummm no. Healers have to know the fight, and react to it as well as react to other players mistakes. Meanwhile, they are expected to put out some sort of damage as well.
Healing is the most intensive thing in the game. Period.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
Tank back to be in need now.
Um, no. It's that way because players were just leveling up the new jobs, PPL tend to dislike extra responsibility/effort (tank & Healers), Gunblades, and two of the healers were severely nerfed and the removal of protect making healing in early dungeon into stone vigil levels of benefic II spam, which when combined with the introduction of trusts: drastically lowered the number of healers in the duty finder.Common sense. "Duh" yes. But when I see threads claiming it's for balance or changes reasons it's laughable.
If Dancer was a Healer this wouldn't be a thing. No, not complaining actually. I enjoy these queue times. Just tired of the propaganda regarding the queues.
It's basic logic that if you add every other role outside of Healer this situation will happen, especially a fan favorite style of gameplay like a Gunblade referencing Squall from FF8.
I literally had a tank that just abandoned the duty after seeing my AST job symbol in the party list, like, two or three weeks ago...
