Square enix headed in the same direction blizzard did with WoW.

But it's a big mistake to think the Healer forums are negative and on-fire because we genuinely hate the game. At least I don't get such vibes from the majority of posters, even in the strongest salt and vitriol critiques of the shitty changes and behavior.

Indeed, if we hated the game, we wouldn't be playing.

If we complain, it's because our favourite classes took a direction we do not enjoy; and we wish to see the devs acknowledge their poor decisions, and decide to change things for the better.
None of that happened yet.

I, for one, was not impressed by the WHM changes, disappointed by the AST, and outright disgusted by the SCH. Not to mention my disappointment to see yet another DPS instead of a much needed healer.
An expansion is supposed to get us all hyped, but ShB failed immensely regarding the healer playerbase. The amount of healer threads on this forum is a good indicator of the general reception.

I post here because I want to love my role, but ShB makes me hate it with a passion.
I want to do more than pressing the same button over and over on every single fight in the game no matter the level.
