that feels like the definition of being ratio'd if I ever saw one.

There are legitimate criticism about healing in this game but this.... whatever this is ain't it guys.

Someone hasn't been around these forums much. 350 likes is a truckload for the number of people on here.

Its really just a wait and see the encounter design at this point. Many people are going for the whole wait till 8.0 for job identity though.

DT is in 3 days. I'm not ready for DT's ast changes to happen in such little time from now...
I am almost tempted to play it for one last hurrah but I am super demotivated. I at least have footage of EW ast as unideal as that version is.

I tend to log in daily, so will turn out the 6.0 lights with WHM and turn on the 7.0 lights with WHM.

basically, its a garbage move and attitude by someone who was unlikely to have been a good healer in the first place. if they get to eat a ban, they deserve it and I would hope its permanent.

Yes, the discord also prohibits this activity, so if they're caught make sure to call it out.

Yep the strike should just be playing a different role. Won't risk getting banned AND will negatively affect queue times, thus giving SE a metric to actually pay attention to.

I wasn't arguing against you, or saying that you were asking for that. Just venting some frustration at the devs' bizarre insistence on designing for people with room-temperature IQs.

I don't think casuals are always the reason. I think it's just cheaper for them to design simple jobs so that they can spend less time on balancing, less time on testing, and less time on designing raids.

Yoshi P using "accessibility" as the reasoning has indirectly caused antagonism.

I mentioned before that I leveled all of my healers to 90 via PVP and tribe dailies/weekly challenges, so it would be an empty gesture to say I was on strike too when I rarely ever did any duty finder content outside of Frontline roulette to begin with.

I would chalk that up to just preference, that I just don't care for healers in PVE content (solo/support/squads aside that is) in the same vein that I leveled my tanks the exact same way as PVP only, treating all 8 options as "green and blue DPS" in that mode and avoiding group content otherwise. The problem though is when people (or the devs rather) assume my disinterest equates to changes needing to be done to make the roles more appealing or "safer" so I'll swap over and queue. Frankly I'm just not keen on being put in a position where one mistake gets everyone killed or even if everyone dies and it's not my fault (mechanics be like that), I get blamed anyway. I don't want the responsibility (or anxiety) of leading or taking up the rear ...and yet *still* I feel like I'm somehow to blame for current tank and healer design, even though I've never asked for such changes, because someone looks at my and the metrics of other DPS-only queue-joiners and thinks more safety nets are the solution.

And I don't rightly think it is, as no amount of in-game tools and guardrails is going to change a person's head space, and again, it can't control the way other people choose to act ...or what they say rather when a run goes south.

As far as I know, none of the people seriously supporting the strike regard griefing or harassment as practical methods of issuing feedback.

The only posts I've seen mentioning it appear to be intentional misinformation.
