#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Fedase]

Really do not like to post on forums, but I think it's time for my voice to be heard

As someone who played healer role in every MMO I played, FFXIV healing was so dissatisfying that I found myself phasing out from boredom and failing mechanics that way. Of course that happened during casual content, but even in Savage healers have not too much to do, the fact that our healer always called healers "Brain afk unga bunga role" should say enough. I don't think role that supposed to have responsibility supposed to be designed like that, and also I believe that there is no need for such simplicity in a game that doesn't require much from you to beat.
As for design, I think devs cling to balance to the point that it might stop them from making something interesting and fun, that isn't just about healers, but I hope devs will take more risks going onward <3

I'm sorry this cracked me up "Brain afk unga bunga role". This has to be one of the best descriptions of any class/job I've ever seen anywhere

But instead of actually going on strike against the 'company' you 'work for' you are instead going 'back to work' in a different position, at the same company, bravo. Playing a different role if you aren't having fun is all well and good, but you should at least realize why people are laughing at and heckling the 'Strike.'

I don't care if someone is so set in their ways they believe a strike is only strike if it follows a framework that is used for union strikes at a job. I already knew many people are not overly smart, I didn't need to be made aware of that.

But it's not all bad. It provided me a few moments of fun imagining how people like that would respond to a hunger strike "but... but... company... work... union... and you still drink water!... wait a minute! this isn't a real strike!".

Gatekeeping what a strike is to argue semantics is certainly the most interesting approach to the healer strike, attention is attention though, one of my Panda normal raid runs mentioned it in chat.

giving this more attentions is the only point to posting, tbh. There is absolutely no downside to anyone by boosting this.

hunger strike would only work in extreme politcal instances where its against the government and extremly public, where the threat of your death is meant to be a mark against them.

hunger striking against your workplace wouldnt amount to anything as your workplace wouldnt ive a shit, fire you anyways, and hire someone else. unlessssss, its uinionized and scabs are demonized. Time and Place

there would not be enough healers "striking" in game for any signifiant push, i will literally swith to healer for a faster queue through msq if im impeeded at all. There are alternatives to leveling that arnt dungeons, extreme and savage release will be , maybe, the only place where the impact might matter but anyone in a guild/static will have healers ready to progress anywhere

a public traded company whos only goal is to increase market share and capital earnings, if neither of these are really affected, who gives a shit.

what level of consumerism do you have to reach to say "its not the devs fault its our fault"

This is great, I love the healer changes and with this post I'm doubling down on healing at the start of Dawntrail. Thanks for the faster queue times (Y'all haven't even played the expansion yet and are saying healers don't do enough healing in content. There's no point in doing this until you know for sure come release. This is basically a temper tantrum. Sheesh.)
Edit: half of my post was deleted upon hitting submit, albeit not worded as nicely as the first time.
