Can we talk about the Yoshi P double standard and bias here?

[CKNovel]

There's an obvious Bias to BLM. I strongly believe DRG, NIN and SMN also have or used to have a Bias.

-The job is getting more and more mobile but keeps being balanced like if it was a turret.
-Job getting free charges on Triplecast while other jobs gets a trait for a charge or a few seconds of cooldown reduction.
-It's allowed to keep its first identity and only got QoLs instead of reworks.
-BLM is allowed to keep its complexity and has never been dumbed down.

There is no feedback today on BLM because the job is simply flawless and brings its own value to the team.
Compare that to other jobs:
-How many years until Living Dead was finally changed, charges on BW?
-How many years since the unengaging Healer feedback?
-How long until MCH finally gets at least charges on HC?
-How many more years until dashes see their potency removed?

Those are many, many feedback that have been ignored or put back for too long, until the problem explose and the majority is fed up.
Meanwhile BLM starts to get QoLs before the problem even start showing its nose.

My personal opinion/supposition is that it's simply the first healer you have access to without any effort. SCH requires getting arcanist to 30, AST and SGE require leveling + reaching the appropriate expansion. This is also probably why there are so many terrible white mages -- if you choose white mage as your first class and you're the type of person who refuses to try new things or listen to critique, you're likely going to both remain a white mage and be terrible at it.

If they somehow decide to rework healers as a whole, one of the things I'd low-key like them tondo is remake ACN into a healer, so new players have more than one choice at the start of the game to heal.

Hahaha, yeah... or you just have a bunch of people that gave up on the job and at this point have left it to it's fate, because no one cares about BLM. RDM is probably the only one that is in a happy medium right now.

The final stage of an unanswered problem is silence, because that is when people just don't care anymore. The reason the healer problem is probably the noisiest one is that no one can walk away from healers as a group. Go from a WHM to a Scholar and the same problems that healers complain about remain. Go from a Scholar to an Astro and the same problem remains. The game doesn't let someone skip out on having a healer in any meaningful content.

Eh idk. I've seen a few claim that healers aren't needed at all in xiv rn
