Shouldn't less skilled players be given a reason and opportunity to improve? It isn't engaging to go through content mindlessly. Players only stay with a game if it hooks them in some way emotionally.

Also, is it fair for Square Enix to balance healers around the lowest denominator? If they continue to do that then FFXIV will continue to lose veteran healers, because they're bored, leaving only the least skilled.
Unfortunately FFXIV has always had healers to dps, even way into ARR. It was just less frequent due to how cleric stance in particular operated. Where we are now, dps is expected...even if you increase healer checks...
