    Longtime players of this game know the devs aren't infallible. They do listen, they're just extremely slow to act and at times completely misread the playerbase.

    As I've said before in ARR and HW WE, the players, were literally told we were playing the jobs wrong despite providing mountains of feedback.

    ARR Warrior, we were playing it wrong. Despite the job not being able to tank properly

    HW Bard, Bow Mage, we were playing it wrong. Despite using the cast ability barely increased dps while making them stationary.

    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]

    So basically, the devs are just stubborn as hell or they completely misjudge the situation and make a bad decision based on their misjudgment. Huh. While it is irritating that the devs never seem to learn from their mistakes when it comes to job design, it does get me somewhat hopeful that they realize what they did to the healer jobs was wrong and will work to fix things in 6.0. But I'm still expecting the worst.
