I just don't agree

[Roschenburg]

If this is the direction the devs are taking for healing (getting rid of complexity, destroying damage rotations, etc.), I will adapt. I\\'m tired. I love this game too much to not do that. I will learn to have fun again.

Like waves against a fortress, our feedback for years has had bandages applied at best and been completely ignored at worst. Many of our hopes and dreams lie with Mr. Yoshida, and I hope he\\'s aware about how much we care about these things (perhaps even more than is healthy lol) as he\\'s trying to stir this new, very clear direction.

But I don\\'t agree. And I never will.

If I grow silent it\\'s because I\\'m tired. I\\'m tired of the fighting even amongst us, gasping for breath. But it will never mean that I\\'m ok with these changes and this view on the games healers.

I\\'m just trying to have fun with my favorite game.

It's been shown again and again that the people who work on healers don't really understand healers. I'm positive that they don't really play healers in this game. At least not at a high level. Nearly every healer main who saw the changes knew they would be terrible within seconds of seeing what the developers had done, yet they claim that they didn't release another healer because they were supposedly hard at work bringing us the 5.0 healers that we got. It really is hard to believe.

It's an odd situation to be sure. I got here after 5.0 to see if I could get some answers to the Scholar changes from the developers and found Ast and Whm here too, only they had been here longer and many of their complaints, old and new, oddly echoed mine: "<healer job> does not feel good to play when nothing needs healing or buffs." I'm certain Healer jobs saw the most changes in 5.0, yet I haven't seen a single Community Manager or the sort asking "How are you enjoying Healers in 5.0?"

Currently, our one channel to hopefully get some answer about these changes and hope they realize people that play healer wants to be engaged in all kinds of content is the Live Letter question thread.

Personally, I'm asking why they saw fit to unlink Arcanist from Scholar (then reassinged Energy Drain) and if they not could consider giving each healer a different dps class as base so they would have something more than Glare/Broil/Malefic.

Wednesday seems a long time away, but it's a great oppertunity to get some answers and hopefully news about changes.

I really wish some prominent healers in the community could sit down with the devs and calmly explain to them how healing works, why we optimize the way we do, and why giving us more healing options won't magically make us heal more often.
