...They're one of your alts, aren't they? (≖‿≖)

um... no.... All my alts have the same name of my main character and I only have 2 alts and this one service account which is tied to the forums. Nice try though.
People do leave and come back to their original accounts. I have several in my FC that did that. So I don't know why you think accusing someone of lying. I was simply providing the most logical explanation of their forum join date in 2015 but them saying they started in Shadowbringers.... they started in 2015, didn't like the game or whatever, and the came back in Shadowbringers. Not that hard to figure out holy crap.

Roulettes are a major portion of the reward structure (including the gear required for harder content if not an omnicrafter) and are essential for ensuring queues pop for people trying to run specific content (story trials for instance)

Just do X will never be the answer, the game's health literally has a hard requirement of healers going into roulettes only to get level 4 gameplay at level 90.

Didn't YoshiP say once that when the people playing healer on the dev team get too good at it they get replaced? I wish I had the quote but I think it was healer specifically. I wonder if that happens for the other roles.

But you just said you have another account, your beta account.
And that is such a stretch of an excuse that you're providing for another person. Maybe let them speak for themselves? (≖‿≖)

Dungeons, trials, extreme trials, 8 man normal raids, 24 man raids, Variant, pretty much all of it. The only thing I've not done is extremes because I am a mom and I work full time and I cannot commit to savage prog.
What difference does it matter what content I do. The fact is I play on my sage the most when I play the game and will be progging the MSQ with sage through all story content.
And now time to pull that gate keeping card out. Because I foresee you're going to try to claim I'm some how "too casual" of a player even though I've been playing the game since Beta on ps3 and the took a break and came back in 2014 and have maintained a sub with no lapse for nearly 10 years.....

Was mostly curious, since according to your lodestone achievements you do not have any on content EW EX (besides relatively recent Endsinger) clears, so yes, i could claim you're too casual, but that's beside point.
Playing the game mostly for the story content is fine. But then why should you care about this strike?
When Dawntrail is released you can go and complete MSQ on Sage, why suddenly come to forums and complaing about the strike, when as you claim it does not concern you and you will continue playing Sage just fine?

Criterion at least managed to make trash pulls interesting, but the healing there isn't any more difficult then savage overall.

Thank you for the info. I was thinking of maybe healing the next criterion since people here keep saying it's engaging, but if I was already just one-button spamming in savage then it would be a waste of my time to gear up for criterion only to have the same one-button spam gameplay.

Healers should have compelling gameplay at all levels of play. Not just savage/ultimate. In extreme, in dungeons, and even in solo instance

The problem is Mr Flower that if we make the easiest content in the game challenging enough to force the casual playerbase to learn how their characters work and actually play the game properly, they'll just cry and leave instead of actually challenging themselves. It happens EVERY TIME ANY GAME DOES THIS. I'm not saying I think healers should only have a challenge in harder content, I'm saying its not possible if square wants to keep a playerbase.

+1 I'll join in the strike as well! I've been a healer main since ARR, and as much as I love this game I've been feeling increasingly disenchanted as a healer, especially after ShB and EW. I want to not feel superfluous in casual content, and I want the gameplay to be fun and engaging and let me feel like a healer.

Because nobody wants to raise the floor, people want the ceiling to not be on the floor

Madam sylphie can still get by cure 1 spamming, I’d like something to do since I don’t need to cure 1 spam, somehow the other roles have this

What a strange mindset! Imagine applying that to any other job! "Sorry Mr. Car Mechanic - you're too good at repairing gearboxes, so we're replacing you".
