#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

I support the healer strike!

And yeah, our community in FFXIV is leaps and bounds above most others that I've experienced.

Ahh yes, I have heard of the great community we have in FFXIV. In fact, I have looked far and wide and have seen many examples proving just how great our community is.

As pointed out in a separate thread , the accolades of many in this thread have been gone over and praised by others in this great community. They do this on their public channels maximize the amount of visibility towards these specific players, surely aiming to show people in this thread in a good light.

Perhaps a different case would be by one particular member (no witch-hunting please) of our great community, who compiled a spreadsheet of all our achievements in this thread. They seem like a trustworthy individual and are in no way trying to stoke anything negative about any particular group of players. Even you, Striker44, are included in this list, complete with your character and their achievements in terms of battle content to show just how diverse of a community we are in terms of skill level.

See how wonderful of a community we are? It is as they say, we are a great community, by the way...

[Striker44]

You're completely right here. Players in FF14 are generally more welcoming and polite. There are always a few bitter people who go into threads they dislike and project their own bitterness onto others, but generally it has been fine.

In any other community you'd find thousands of players like this guy, but here, thankfully we only have one.

Ooh, so is this where we use the comment the other poster made about whoever made that "spreadsheet" thing and point out how much a simple random person like me has gotten in your head that you went all the way through my history to selectively grab a few? Nice!

(By the way, why not do the same to any of the people that have invaded the positive thread about healing? Oh, right, that wouldn't be upholding the double standard...)

Kudos, though, for proving my point about the cesspool that is the forums compared to the positivity that exists in the game. I appreciate it!

Serious question - did you just respond to a post that pointed out how one person isn't representative of the whole and try to "debunk" it by...posting an example of one person that isn't representative of the whole? I'm very confused...

I just hope devs take the positive feedback from here and use that to further better encounter design and hopefully in 8.0 better job design for healers.

I mean, he's not wrong, really...

Like you can't call the forums an 'almost invariably cesspools of negativity and toxicity', and then expect someone to not be curious about it or the person making that statement, for example.

not 100% sure on that. there have been good posts in the healer forums for years that were good feedback, examples, ways things could be done to change the downward slide and they have been pointedly ignored.

which is why we are where we are today... with this thread.

Oh sure, I was just pointing out that some of the people pushing the strike considered it a weird sort of "victory" that they got in someone's head enough to do that. I was confused by that because I thought the goal was to change the game, not annoy those who enjoy it, and the support of that comment seemed to be undermining the claim being made. Yet here, that same group seems to be giving others a "victory" for getting in their own heads. I feel like Scar from the Lion King right about now...

OK now that we're taking about healers not getting enough attention let's talk about how come tanks skills like PLD Holy Sheltron and GNB Heart of Corondum has shield animations when getting hit and Sage new class on Endwalker who came the same expansion as those skills and is a "Shield Healer" class doesn't have any shield animations like scholar on their barriers at all.
That's something that bugged me since AST nocturnal stance back in those days and I thought maybe it's a lot of work, and I been waiting and waiting they took notice but clearly they did since they're giving to tanks and I think reaper has shield animation too on their Arcane Crest, again a class that came with the Sage, the developers need to pay attention to this because it kinda hurts the dps and tanks got really cool skills, but healers are getting no animations on their shields and a 1 2 but Dps with not enough damage on tanks during dungeons to keep up the effort on healing.

I am fairly certain you know any amount of case examples, regardless of how large or small or exhaustive, I provide can never represent the entire great majoritah you envision. It is also clear you avoided the other item I mentioned which is much wider in scope. I could go on, at length, at the number of threads created on this forum that discuss topics related to harassment and stalking that goes on in this community. Or the fact this very thread has had a fair number of bad faith actors in it. With that stated, it will never be enough to convince the king of the majoritah to understand what they rule over is not something to be proud of.

By the way, it would be important to note you are equally as responsible to the great community's reputation on the forums as we all are. But alas, perhaps this Miqo'te cannot see the forest through the trees...
