Healers ultimately want the same thing as everyone else: They want to have fun with their own unique playstyles and identities and contribute to damage while assuming their other responsibility.

But healing is so low and our damage options have been watered down to the barest neccessity that healers are constantly upset. New players enter the role and leave out of boredom while veterans are driven away. Those that remain are the rare 1% or tend to be very low skilled.

Astrologians want their cards and time magic back. Scholars want Selene back and their dots. White mage wants for too much to be written here and Sage wants better toxikon and more dps options since ironically they have the least for the supposed dps healer.

and ALL healers want more healing to be required so they actually have a place in duties.
AND YOSHIDA REFUSES TO GIVE ANY OF IT
To drive home how little the devs talk about Healers in Live Letters and Interviews, it's best to look at this thread. Here's one line in particular that sticks out to me:

Of those 92 questions, only 3 were focused on healers. And they all came from a single interview.
The devs barely talk about the Role, and I believe the ShB Fan Fest Live Letter had them outright skip the Healer slide. Compare that to how much care and attention is given to DPS Jobs and it's kinda nutty. Hell, the recent SAM change had Yoshi-P going in depth talking about it during the recent Patch Notes coverage. Healers don't get that though. They largely get ignored, told to try it first and then ignored, or told to play Ultimate and then ignored. End result is still the same, the devs aren't listening, and haven't been for years.
