You do not fix the healer shortage by endlessly catering to DPS players and hoping that they'll make the switch permanently. By gutting the healer playstyle into a form enjoyable by people that don't even want to heal in the first place, you are not increasing the healer population, you are simply replacing the existing healer population with a bunch of DPS players that don't have the proper mindset to play a healer, which will lead to more wipes and frustration due to their lack of recovery skills.

You can already clearly see this happening if you PF a lot, you see people dying because SGEs and SCHs refuse to mitigate, you see people dying to damage because WHM players say they don't have lilies, you see people dying to damage because AST players use Earthly Star purely for damage and they decide to only use an unprocced Horoscope to heal. I'd rather see the healer role have a lower population of competent players than watch parties wipe because my cohealer is incompetent and only wants to spam Glare.
Heal with unprocced horoscope? Lol. Makes me feel better about my grey tea Clear because l decided to heal and do mechanic So We don't wipe
