#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Pip_Chick]

Why do people have such a big problem with Healer mains? It's just a game, why do you care that people just want to play the role they enjoy and have fun with it at all levels? You can do that with DPS and Tanks, why not healers?
When I do MSQ with my SCH, and get into an instanced single duty, it takes a very long time since my kit doesn't help with this scenario. I have lost and have to repeat a lot of them. Either because I got ambushed by too many enemies, a character died when they were supposed to stay alive or the thing I was supposed to protect was destroyed because I couldn't deal with the enemies fast enough. Even with the "Easy" difficulty, this problem persists. It is not very fun to do and have to go through the same solo duty over and over because my kit is not working in this environment.
Also during MSQ, you get the "Kill X amount of enemies" quests. I remember being in early HW story when I had to kill 3 Vanu Vanu, I didn't have my Chocobo out and was killed over and over. My kit is not built for any for on solo play. But all other roles are.

Dungeons are not much better. To put is simply, I hate that they only way I can enjoy my time as a healer is when I get a bad team, otherwise I will turn into a Broil spammer with a few heals here and there.
I like the PvP kit SCH has so would really enjoy if some of those abilities were given to PvE!

And for people who like the design we have now. Why don't we leave WHM as is and make the rest a range of different difficulties?
Like: WHM is the easiest, followed by AST, then SCH and SGE.

Even in this theoretic scale, I would still main SCH. My experience in other MMOs has taught me that I like medium to high difficulty jobs. Even if they would be just as powerful as WHM, there are people who like to engage with their kit more. There should be a Job for all types of difficulty in all roles. If I want something harder to master, I should have an option and no one should be upset because, at the same time, there will be an easier Job to master. So everyone is happy.

I just want Healers to be fun to play.

I doubt people would bat an eye if healers who are bored with their rotation simply put playing a healer to the side without making a big deal going public about it.
I've seen other complain threads where people talk about what they don't like about a certain job far more civil and on topic than this.
I think it's simply because people have called out for a strike on playing a healer until SE fixes them that has caused the uproar from either side.

I understand your side, but still. I don't see the problem with people saying they are in a "Strike". Some people made a much bigger fuss about Kaiten than anyone in this thread did.

People are not happy with their role. How will the devs know why? We tell them. -> Literally that easy. I am not having fun in the content I am doing as a healer, ergo I will not be a healer in that content.

I have no ill will towards anyone. It's just a game, I want to have a good time playing it after work. And if there is something I don't like or feel it needs some tuning, I will say that.
I don't really like the rest of the roles/jobs in this game. They are not that fun. Besides some spell effects and the weapons, they could easily just be 1 job with different specs. The 8.0 comment gives me some hope, but I am a very "I'll believe it when I see it" type of person. Actions for me speak louder than words. I hope the 7.2 comment about making encounters more challenging will make a difference and people will get to come back to the role and have more faith for 8.0.

Let's just keep it cordial in here, we all just want to have fun in this game.

that's nice sweetie, have you made sure to drink some water?

how do you feel about volunteer work? i hear humane societies always need people willing to clean kennels. ^-^

(also i'm just southern, this is just how i talk in real life, i'm sorry that me being nice is so scary and hard for you. i genuinely want you to have a better day, and dehydration is awful)

These Usain Bolt analogies are doing a lot of....legwork

How do you know they haven't picked up healer already?

An estimated 24% of players have A Life of Adventure V completed, according to FFXIV Collect.
38% have a level 90 AST.
44% have a level 90 SGE.
46% have a level 90 CNJ (WHM).
51% have a level 90 ACN (SMN/SCH).

Job leveling stats is maybe the worst thing you could possibly reference.

Not only is one of those shared with one of the most popular DPS jobs. I have multiple jobs at or near max level that I don't actually play any more. I only started playing the video game late into Endwalker.

I have a level 90 Reaper that was just for the Endwalker MSQ, I have not played it since but I still posses a level 90 Reaper. I also have a level 90 DRK that's used exclusively in Hunt Trains because the state of tanks rn frustrates me and an 80~ WHM I couldn't even finish leveling but realistically I could run through Frontlines/Tribes/Khloe and get done.

If the moderators and devs see a 100+ pages long thread with people bickering back and forth, they might just roll my eyes and look for more serious threads with easy to read feedbacks.
Just because a thread stays on the front page doesn't mean it's going to be taken more seriously.

Perhaps for them it's like the Gong Show, where the point of getting people up on the stage is for those people to embarrass themselves.
High visibility isn't always an asset.

But really, do you think you can get them to stop with your post ?
And is that really your intent: to silence people who disagree with you?
