feedback? where?

[Arkdra]

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 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?

So the logic is the messed up SB lilys so badly that they got rightfully clowned on by the community for what was and still is the worst job mechanic the game has ever given birth to and because they can’t design a healer mechanic to give a damn that is reason to………nuke the entire role from orbit then proceed to ignore the feedback the community gives on not liking it for the next 6 years afterwards

I don’t think this is the kind of dev response people are after
