There are actual places to put feedback, but for some reason, NA players just post in general discussion where it'll be drowned out

I mean the game itself tells you to post feedback here.

Support desk > Contact us > Leave a Suggestion

Feedback and suggestions regarding FFXIV can be posted on the official FFXIV General Discussion forums.

That's because it's a General forum and the message doesn't know what the specific subject is that you want to bring up, so obviously they direct you to the General one. But if you know a specific category for it, it's likely gonna be better in there where it won't get drowned out so much.

Yeah definitly if you have a job specific feedback better go to the dps/tank/healer forum and GD for stuff like make stuff wearable for both male and female. I'm just saying that the game itself points the player toward GD for feedback so people are more likely to go there if they don't know better.

We literally, like 2 or 3 weeks ago, just had the benchmark come out. It lead to tons and tons of feedback being posted on this forum about it. The devs responded to that feedback fairly quickly and have shown some fixed examples between now and then and we are getting a fresh, updated benchmark next week. The claim they don't read feedback is specious.

Then the situation is even weirder because that means they are just choosing to disregard large parts of the feedback. The backlash to the benchmark was so great they had to do something about it. Healers have been giving suggestions on how to improve the role for YEARS now, many of them really well thought out. None of those have ever even been as much as acknowledged. Even a "we are seeing your feedback but we disagree, our design direction is different" would be better than radio silence and then claiming they "listened to feedback" when implementing largely unwanted changes.

They have acknowledged healer feedback on more than one occasion. And pretty much each time said healers are where they want them to be. I personally enjoy the simplicity of healing, it’s what I do dailies on just to relax and zone out. We definitely don’t have to like every decision they make, but I wouldn’t say they’ve not been listening to people. They’re just catering heavily to one side, which I assume is because of the rise of new players. The simpler things are the easier they are for new players unfamiliar with the combat system to pick up.

They did explain their design decision for healers back in shb.

https://twinfinite.net/features/ffxi...ers-interview/ TL;DR healer balance was dire and they wanted to fix it.

And of course the infamous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRpdIL7_NII&t=17438s

I am also 90% certain they talk about it in the combat pll for shb as well but I am not willing to comb through a 4 hour video to win forum arguments. I am also not willing to comb through dozens of media tour interview videos and articles for the same reason. You can fall down that rabbit hole yourself if you're so desperate for answers.

All that said, I would like for them to address it again because why not?
