#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[SoloD007]

Because I want to play final fantasy XIV. And no, healers are engaged the first time doing a given piece of content. Once you know when damage is going to happen you’re back to spamming 12111111111111. The only exception is when you’re in a group with people who are really bad at the game.

My fun as a healer shouldn’t be restricted to day 1, progression, or when in groups with exceptionally bad players. Healers should be fun no matter what.

So let's say SE adds a new DPS ability/button for the healers. Then in your case it'll be spamming 123123112233112 lol. So I'm not sure what is the difference is. Unless you are asking SE to add like 10 different DPS buttons plus healing abilities. If that's the cast the healer will actually be a dps. Also back in SB, scholar wasn't healing at all, they were just spamming broil and DoT while the fairy was healing. I don't know about you, but the old scholar in SB seemed boring as hell.

You've written a lot of statement describing how healing "seems'. Did you actually heal on a SCH in SB, because I did, and first of all, it was not limited to " just spamming broil and DoT while the fairy was healing" and secondly, I found it more enjoyable then since healer changes (in general) since EW in PVE.

seems the healer strike was a bust i've had no problems finding groups since dawntrail launched

Because people here refuse to believe they are a minority and it’s hilarious they thought they could impact launch since the 8 man trials are on trust

Uh no it's been successful.
Pretty much did what they said they were gonna do and move on to play better roles like DPS. That's all the strike was.
"This role sucks, here's why it sucks, it's someone else's problem now, I'm gonna go play DPS bye."
Maybe it'll have an effect on healer quality in savage/extreme PF because a lot of decade long healer mains have quit the role but I don't think most people expected the entire healer playerbase to die.

A strike to be effective would have required it to have an actual significant impact on gameplay for others, just like a real life strike when workers walk off a job.
While a tiny minority of healers have moved on to other jobs, I am still encountering TONS of healers in my server doing the story and queuing for group content. So no. You healer strike has not worked because it’s not had any effect on anyone. By very definition of what a strike’s purpose is is to stop productivity in protest. A minority of yall are being loud yeah, but even in my server when the “strike” gets mentioned it’s made fun of because we all still have plenty of healers running around…. In short far more than those “striking”

Nobody, and I mean nobody, did this strike to influence queue times. We did it just to say “healers have sucked too hard for too long. Not doing it anymore.”

This doesn’t mean we hate FFXIV as a whole, it means we’re sick of our favorite role being reduced to 1 button casters.

What is it with you people and not reading the OP? It says the strike is a form of protest and specifically that it is not meant to disrupt anyone's gameplay. Literally the opposite of what you're claiming the goal is.

I’m have you even read the same thread. MANY of you striking are hoping to negatively impact queues to make a point. For Christ sake just a reply on this page said “well it may not be impacting normal stuff but it’ll impact savage/ultimates”
So yeah a strike’s purpose is to stop productivity. This has failed. It also has NOT significantly reduced the number of healers running around the data centers and servers because as many of us tried to point out repeatedly those who post here do so 99% of the time to complain. I mean look at the first 5 pages has been nothing but crying over literally EVERYTHING that’s been done this expansion from the voice actors to a zig instead of a zag on a microscopic detail on a character that has to be zoomed into ridiculous proportions to even see, to wahhhhh the game hurts my eyes, the tilt of a mount makes me sick, my identity was stolen because my character looks slightly different and so I’m going to sob and cry for hours over it.
So yeah this forum is NOT representative of the majority by any stretch most people are playing and enjoying the game marveling how much prettier everything is and laughing when people mention the healer strike or complaints about the graphics

a strike that does not affect anything is not really a strike
