I'm bored when I heal because I need more complex DPS rotations

That's the funniest response l fished out, lol

To be transparent in regards to my response, it wasn't directly a counter to what you were saying. I also believe you shouldn't need to master your job in order to enjoy the game, which is how the entire game currently operates and has always operated, even hard content. You do not need to parse pink or orange to beat savage. I've raiding with people who were learning new jobs for the first time just to try something new, and we still won. Someone in my savage raid group swapped from Black Mage to Ninja for the fun of it despite having very little experience with Ninja. Which is exactly why it makes no sense to me why job design continues to be childproofed over and over again when it's simply not necessary. It doesn't make it easier for the common player to clear content, it just takes away the fun from the people who want to develop their skills and master their job beyond what the game asks you to do. And I don't think you were challenging that logic specifically, just that your choice of words immediately made me think of the opposite--how the game wants me to be a bad healer in order for me to enjoy healing. The better I get, the worse my gameplay feels.
