I have over 800 days of playtime ( not tons of AFK time) the mentor mount and have cleared most savage fights so this isnt some meme casual gamer making this post, it was a DEDICATED player to this game who has been forgotten about

No doubt; it is mainly veteran players like that who are unhappy.

The game has this last expansion been the absolute worst in terms of casual and midcore content and I see the directions the developers are going in. Also there is 0 social content outside of what has not been taken over by ERP clubs and Venues.

Indeed. The benefit of Eureka and Bozja and even Ishgard Restoration was it was a social experience. Whereas I was in Island Sanctuary and variant all alone. It was mentioned the new "Island Sanctuary-like" content will be social this time though.

the amount of OGCD heals one has literally breaks most content in the game.

Also true. Dungeons are a lot more fun if you simply don't take a healer or don't take a tank.

Boss hitboxes are so massive it takes away fun tank playing

To a degree, but I think what is far worse than that is the auto-center thing. It's just created as many problems as it has solved, because now I am fighting against the re-centering system to try and reduce how much the boss moves or rotates, or it re-centers in different directions or to the south, to the detriment of people's positionals. Sometimes re-centering is unnecessary and makes the melee dps move for no reason.

Good for you for voting with your wallet. Hopefully you can get past the anger and feel relieved that you've moved on from something that you no longer enjoy. What games are you playing instead these days?

I started playing the finals, also playing star rail and final fantasy 16

For me, I'll be waiting to see what Dawntrail brings first, but I've said my piece as well in a different thread. It certainly can't hurt to see what the coming information will bring since we're pretty close to Dawntrail relatively speaking, but you have to do what's best for you. I started Star Rail at launch myself, but found myself waiting for the PS5 release pretty quickly since I don't have the greatest computer for gaming and I've always been more of a console player. The events that I've caught up on have blown me away in terms of the overall quality, story telling, and gameplay additions. XIV could never.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, there are two points I think are incorrect.

Healers are so OVERPOWERED playing them without a damage rotation is dumb, the amount of OGCD heals one has literally breaks most content in the game.

I'm not so sure it's a matter of them being overpowered, but rather good tanks can make them completely unnecessary. I'm not really sure how that maintained status quo throughout the expansion, but I am curious to see if this changes comes DT.

Party finder is dead on primal, Crystal and Aether

Can't speak for Primal or Crystal, but Aether is definitely not dead for PF. There are complaints that you almost have to go to Aether to do any PF content, so I would be willing to bet this is objectively false.

At the end of the day, if you aren't happy, then I do really wish you well in finding something that is fun to you. What you consider medicore, others might not agree, and that's ok. What matters is what makes each person happy.

Good tanks or just tanks doing their jobs?

"Oh no, I did my job and now the healer no longer has to!"

What do you want exactly? For people to be bad?

This is part of the reason why you run into such bad tanks/healers sometimes. Because they have the option to exist and not learn. Good tanks and good healers can carry either.

This!

I'll start by saying I am NOT a "good healer" - I've only recently started playing healer jobs and am still learning.

However, with that said, I have encountered plenty of Tanks who were excellent and didn't really need me to do anything. And on the flipside, I've also encountered plenty of Tanks who proved unable to stay upright without constant heals.
