#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Im not going to read this 527 page thread. But I'll say this. As somebody who has mained white mage every expansion. That ain't changing here. But im also going to say almost every dungeon has been doable without a healer. When you got 3 dpses you kill stuff faster. And Dungeons aren't long fights for there bosses. And 3 dpses that know there rotation well can skip alot of mechanics. Imagine striking over a dungeon the most casual of casual content

You don’t even read the OP lmao.

You didn't even read the opening post, so your opinion quite literally doesn't matter.

Sure, I also wouldn't want to read 527 pages of repeated arguments or common talking points, but at the very least read the OP.

What lead to the strike:
A summary of healer's issues. - A comprehensive take from the communities healers. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-healer-issues
Reactions to the response for more engaging content:https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...-play-Ultimate

I love how even when Gemina edit her OP to list the important "please read first"-links, of course some naysayers still gloss over that.

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the actual reason SE babify the role is because they perceive a large portion of playerbase being unable to read lol.

Yap yap yap, alot of yall cant even use the current healer toolkit properly and you want to add complexity to it !? I promise you if they add more difficulty yall will come back here crying like always. Been here done that. You asked for less dps buttons btw! Quick, how many of you cleared savage ?

[Aravell]

I think a dictionary might be more useful, as what you are claiming an "objective fact" is really a "subjective opinion" (aka the complete opposite). Deciding when something is sufficiently "accessible" for an entire playerbase of over 1 million people is an opinion, not a fact. That is the only thing "indisputable" here. Well, I guess the other things in the same sentence you claimed as "indisputable facts" also similarly being nothing but personal opinions would apply as well. Learn the meaning of a fact vs. an opinion, and you'll get taken more seriously. Or, continue to spout nonsense, and then wonder why the dev team continues ignoring you. *Shrugs* Either way, I'll be happy playing my healer while you continue tilting at windmills.

So anything you don't like is a subjective opinion, glad we could clear that up.

Moving on.

Everyone's opinion matters. At the end of the day there are going to be people who support this strike and people who don't. I personally will be maining healer, as I always do, for this expansion. If things change eventually, so be it. If they don't? I'll still enjoy the amazing game and the people I play it with. I understand why people are upset but me personally? It doesn't bother me. I've played so many MMOs in my years of being on the internet. There is only one that truly stole my heart and nothing will compare.. and thats FFXI Online! The healing in that game, for those of you who've never played it, was amazing! Very challenging, especially at end game. (And I'm talking about when the cap was 75)

Anyway! Dawntrail comes out in a day, so I hope everyone enjoys it. Healing or striking, I wish you all the best! <3

Yeah, the over-concern for accessibility is bad, and accessibility is something no one complains about. No one says the game is hard to pick up, or too many jobs are difficult to pick up.
This is in part because the game does not challenge you, so it does not teach you how to play the game. You don't learn how to play the game by playing it because they made it so easy. So people get to level 90 and get fully geared and raiders complain about the lack of healers, and specifically the lack of skilled healers entering savage.

Yoship has actually also acknowledged the lack of healer participation in endwalker. And also on top of this this raid tier has issues in itself too being unfun.

Not only is the difficulty curve all kinds of messed up due to the over-accessibility of the game and jobs, I have to ask why does every job have to be accessible to everyone?

This game has the advantage of allowing the player to swap to any job without starting a brand new character. So why does it matter if some jobs are a little more inaccessible to the average player? Why is it so imperative to make every job simple so that everyone can play all 19 (soon 21) jobs?
