    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.

    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]

    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.
    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.

    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...
