that's nothing to do with white mage not being fun though? that's the problem of parsers being parsers and wanting their epeens bigger because role dps wasn't a thing then.

healers were still choosing white mage to play because it was fun which is the point, were it not for other people, they would have stuck to whm. Most people do not parse, but instead pick jobs to have fun. Plus, they still picked whm when they were progging which is the most important time- getting the clear.
