    And what do you mean by "anything"?

    Housing? They implemented the lottery.
    PvP? They just reworked from scratch.
    Healer is boring? They rework healers almost every expansion.
    SAM? They reworked the job because band-aid fixes weren't working, but the job lost it's identity along the process. Same happened with MCH and AST.

    You sound like SE is not even trying, but at least they tried /shrug.

    We've had a bit too much of the "at least they tried" recently, and not enough of the "wow, they did a good job"

    Despite the overdone meme SE are not actually a small indie gaming company. Billions of yen profit.

    6 YEARS!!!!!6 years of Player feedback regarding the fact that Healing has become so braindead easy to play that they can now program NPCs to do, WHILE ALSO GIVING THOSE NPCS MORE SKILLS THAN ACTUAL PLAYERS!!!!!!!! Every Aero 3, Stoneskin, etc that I see an NPC do is another slap in the face of healers because their BS nonsense about not wanting to pressure Healers to DPS, which is directly contradicted by the game at every interval telling Healers that "There's a time to heal and there's a time to Deal Damage". NPC healers do damage, the Hall of the Novice tells you to do damage, Savage Raids at minimum ilvl are mathematically impossible to clear UNLESS the Healer is doing damage. And yet, every expansion, the role is dumbed down to do the exact opposite of that, by taking away damage options and instead showering us in Healing abilities that we don't need. "Oh, they want to make Healing more accessible", and people have given feedback on how to do that too by simply giving healers more of their toolkit at lower levels. You've done it with every single other job in this game but that oversaturated healing toolkit? Yeah, let's completely backload all that because that somehow, in some unimaginable way, would be too much pressure for a new healer to understand why they were given this skill at a reasonable level. I can't have my free Medica until level 76 because I clearly need 24 levels after unlocking Solace in order to figure out how to use an AoE heal, despite having Medica since level 15. I can't have a low level version of Temperance, despite WHM having Divine Seal up until SB turning it into a Role Action called Largesse and then just completely got rid of that too. Why is Fey Blessing a level 76 skill? I've been using Whispering Dawn since level 20 but a flat (and weak) up front heal is something that needs to be backlogged until 76? WHM and AST used to have Shielding capabilities as early as level 50 (With Stoneskin1+2 and Noct Sect) so is there a reason that Divine Bension and Celestial Intersection are level 66/74? But I'm supposed to be happy because the Devs are "trying", right?

    It doesn't sound like they're trying. It sounds like they're half assing it and with the increasing number of problems, with job adjustments, housing, Hrothgar hairstyles, etc. It feels like they're extending that treatment to other parts of the game as well now.
