Healers are actually really popular in JP servers. Either way, this is a dumb take considering everyone knew they would add trusts to older content eventually regardless of whatever your opinion was about certain job roles.

Hey, whatever makes DPS players live's easier, right?

Speaking of dumb takes.

Some people will defend this game until the very end. For the most part I've been one of them over the years. But recent developments have basically shattered my view of the dev team. I've seen it all before in multiple MMOs. I just wish I'd have seen it sooner here I guess.

That's fair. I missed that bit. But even if my point doesn't apply to you, I will stand by it.

Like it or not it still relates to low level progression of roles and how the player base relates to group content. In my eyes it replaces a dissatisfied part of the player base, and to me it looks like an attempt to remove any weight they might have in the game. I will admit my wording was unnecessarily inflamatory, though. The state of hrothgar hairstyles is also getting to me. I am growing really frustrated with the devs as of late.

The way I see it, leaving would just make the devs vindicated in their approach. If you are dissatisfied with the game and you leave, the people dissatisfied with your game are not a problem anymore, why would you work to please them anyway? They are no longer part of the playerbase. Considering how big FFXIV is and how easy it is to replace the players, I think quitting would do more harm than good. On the other hand I do understand the concept of "voting with your wallet." This isn't a free game after all.

They're finding ways to surprise me in how they're managing to tick people off.
