A summary of healer issues

[FoxCh40s]

We're still offering feedback mainly because how else are we supposed to air out the issues? Even if it looks ugly, we still have to press it. The DRK Megathread in particular in the Tank Subforum is a veritable example of this - and they've still yet to have their requests answered properly, akin to how we deal with it. Face it: Yoshida and his team CANNOT and WILL NOT take criticism from the West because of Japanese work culture. The "influencers" themselves aren't allowed to air out the laundry either because it'd basically be "OH! You're making SE look bad! Oh well, hope you liked working with us." and they'd prevent them from criticizing certain aspects.

I think Asmongold said it best when he was reacting to Preach's talk about Bozja and Eureka - if you don't focus on the systems, then it feels better to summarize. Our issues stem from the healing system itself and flaws in battle design, which I've felt the team's gotten lax with outside of Savage, Alliance Raids, and Ultimate. Why we cry about it is because we're dissatisfied with the state of healers and how the job feels at a basic level. The only way the playerbase can believably bite back is if we continue to offer constructive, yet scolding criticisms ad nauseum until they properly fix healers. Give credit where it is due of course, because not everything is unicorns and rainbows for WHM(even though it ought to be given the rose tinted glasses people get at the mere mention of it if they haven't healed yet).

Even though they completely and actively ignore feedback? It's literally pointless, they themselves have shown they don't care, and if you get particularly rowdy about it, they ban you from the forums for a week or so to make it clear you should stop complaining about it loudly.

It is literally useless to provide feedback on Healers; there is no pay off, there is no real acknowledgement, there is no solutions that are viable offered from them, and the changes they continue to make to healers borders on bizarre and head scratching at best.

Give up, that is the unofficially official implication from the Devs and their management, "Que for Ultimate if you are unsatisfied with the difficulty of current content."

White Mage will always be bad for reasons they cannot appropriately or accurately explain; they actively hate Scholar and genuinely don't care about its player bases feedback, Astro is something they legitimately don't know what to do with, and Sage is just Scholar.

Isn't going on a public forum to tell people to give up kind of an oxymoron? If you're of the mindset that you should give up, then what drives you to log in just to tell others to give up? If you've given up, wouldn't you logically have... given up and not log in to talk about it any further? It actually hurts my brain trying to think about that.
