#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

So i take it unsubscribing isn't an option for this healer strike? I'm sure they'll pay attention if a large portion of healers all collectively unsub and stop playing and go support a different game.

Namely the people throwing this protest around, please unsub and go play something else.

This goes back to another point I made earlier, but unsubscribing doesn't change the issue at hand. All SE will see is -1 customer, while switching voluntarily from healer to any other job becomes -1 healer, +1 tank/dps. Then again, people want to play FFXIV, but healer role is in dire need of fixing, whatever it takes.

There has to be a white line somewhere.

If you can't see the white line, that just means you can't Esuna it.

Which means you cant stun it either. Darn.

Here's a wild idea. If someone makes (a big) mistake, the group wipes. Yes even in a dungeon, not every situation should be recoverable.

Man, now I'm sad. I don't even remember when I last had a full dungeon wipe. They used to be commonplace when I started playing this game.

Square has ignored healers since last 5 years almost. It is no surprise that they operate on a very textbook corporate mentality where they will only react once their "numbers" take a certain dip. I know unsubbing is a very crude method of getting a point across, especially since more people join the fray with every new expansion while being completely oblivious of core issues. But, at this point? What can you do.

What can I do? Personally, I enjoy other aspects of the game, like crafting/gathering. The game doesn't revolve entirely around battle content, and if I do that, I usually play tank/dps anyway. I like playing all jobs, even if healers are borderline lazy design.

I got two wipes from two different healers while leveling my Ninja in Stone Vigil earlier this year. Healer just simply was out of it/ not paying attention. It takes a REALLY bad healer to wipe, and also a lower level dungeon given the higher level ones are too easy.

We will not unsub and we will keep posting in the forum with the forum privileges afforded to subscribed players in addition to enjoying Dawntrail as tanks and dps. Please click with your mouse to exit the thread if you don't like reading healers' feedback directed to Square Enix.
