Every single time I look at one of these threads I see them devolve into a few people arguing with each other for 10+ pages until the next group of people take over.

This is why SE isn't listening to this feedback, because this 63 page thread isn't a sign of community consensus - it was a few pages of community feedback followed by ~60 pages of personal squabbles.

Aside from a few pissed off SAMs & house bidders (the latter will hopefully be fixed soon), the game is in a fine state. The upcoming content seems more promising than SHB's, 6.1 was the best x.1 patch I can remember & launched to wide praise of the alliance raid & pvp updates, and as always job balance is more or less fine :P

I do wonder if people crying doom are playing the same game sometimes, but I do acknowledge that as someone not playing Hrothgar & only casually playing SAM, I'm not really affected by those problems. As for healing - it is what it is, and it will continue to be so until the game ends; I accepted that after Stormblood started things by gutting the SCH kit.
