Can we PLEASE get Achievement Mounts for Healers

[NobleWinter]

Then dps, gatherers, and crafters better get mounts to.

Crafters and Gatherers do need more incentive to exist. They are in painfully short supply. Im not sure we need to lure more people into playing dps tho. They already have the most fun jobs and tricking them into playing Tanks is why they are the only role that has Achievement mounts currently.

And let that mount be a coffin with wings that you ride strapped UNDER to represent all the groups you've carried on your backs.

Crafters/Gatherers do get a mount. It just requires grinding the hell out of the Diadem.

There's one from Custom Deliveries, too... and isn't the shark from Ocean fishing? So that makes 3.

I'm sorry if I'm sounding narky but if a player really needs to be given a carrot for healing in the form of special mounts, then it's maybe time to choose another career path in the game as that kind of goes against the whole idea of a healer being selfless and putting their party's wellbeing before their own if they need to be given special rewards for doing so (of course, great if recognition for your effort is given, but I don't see it happening).

The idea of healers being selfless is a misconception. Any healer who puts the party's wellbeing before their own is still learning how to play. If you decide to save the dps instead of yourself who is going to heal them after you are dead? Doesn't make sense to prioritize anyone but yourself and other healers in any situation. The only exception is when all tanks in an alliance are dead and you have aggro. Then you need to rezz one so that they can take the boss away from you and let you rezz the other healers first before the dps.

Recognition of healers is constantly being given. A person is far more likely to get comms just for playing one, regardless of how they actually performed. And with comms you can get the pegasus mount. It is not the same as the tank mounts but I think that's fine.

As of today, healer queues are instant for almost any piece of content that you use df to queue for. As far as roulettes are concerned even if the adventurer in need is a tank and you queue as a healer, your queue pops up immediately.

The two seat Pegasus Mount comes from running the mentor roulette 2,000 times. Are we really going to consider that the healer Achievement Mount? It's like 20 times more difficult than any tank mount to unlock and you can play a tank or dps exclusively in the roulette to recieve it.

I think SE has its own data of job/ role distribution and the achievement rewards are made to encourage players to play certain roles.
Maybe healers are indeed more popular than tanks.
I looked at some websites that surveys active job based on main hand IL, and the results are Healer numbers are more dominant than tanks across Data Centers
Also, contrary to the knowledge of "healers are more on demand because ShB healers are bad," the number of healers actually rocketed compared to pre ShB.

I second this.
I understand there are less tanks than healers, so they try to give maximum incentive to players to pick up any of the tank jobs, but i do feel like the mount thing is unfair, and a bit overboard to be honest.
There are many other ways to incentivise players to play tank in DF and i wish they would give it more thought.
So yes, in my opinion if tanks can get mounts just by basically playing the game, i think it should be the same for healers and DPS.
