#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Isala]

Everyone who is saying “Well I healed this new thing today and it was actually quite challenging and fun!” That is because it is new and you are with new people, you are new and don’t know what is coming. While I agree and do feel envious of those healer moments, that is not a “gotcha” to this strike. It speaks as if you don’t understand the core problem healers are tired of. Those moments of “wow that was fun to heal” are fleeting. Once you have run the trial or dungeon enough you heal less and start to dps more and pop an ogcd here and there to keep everyone alive, but your dps is 2 button spam at most.

I keep seeing "Healing is more fun when people make mistakes!" No. It isn't. It's annoying. You wouldn't use this stupid justification for having to work twice as hard when a coworker at your job made a mistake that affected your department, it's not a justification for the terrible healing design here. Having to scrape Faceplant Floorlicker off the ground for the sixth time because they can't stop standing in AoEs doesn't make content fun. It just means you cast Raise in the place of several Glares instead.

So, people out there having fun healing and you guys are mad about that.

Enough said about this strike.

Disagreeing everything is fine just because some of the new content requires a bit more healing in the first week, isn't being mad at people that have fun.

Show me one post where people are mad about that. At best, you will find people pointing out that there is more damage because people are new to the content, and that will not last long.

It is an argument to strike now, its the whole point. A lot of people saw xenos video (since it hit the news...) and assume its because of this and its a NEW problem, yet a good portion of healers have been feeling this frustration and boredom for years (since SB for me). Just because RIGHT NOW is fun, we know it will not last, it never does because it never changes. I remember in EW people saying "just wait it will get better probably, you guys are crying before seeing how the fights are" and then seeing people clear Ultimates without healers in the next patch. If we don't do a strike now, when? And besides I can clearly read how healers play still and I can see they are with 1-2 button spam for dps with way to many overcompensating heals while tanks and dps got more mitigation skills.

My wish for this strike is people who don't usually heal will switch to healer, maybe they will find they rather enjoy healing, or maybe they will finally understand the frustration and give their support.

This sounds like an argument not to strike now as this period of time is when healing is most fun. Before everyone has run the dungeons 2 million times and out gears them to the point we aren’t needed. lol

I mean... you can just run 1T3D for dungeons. Part of our argument is that these kind of moments are fleeting and the engagement will end.

Nice "strike" folks

I've had no issues getting healers all day from the entire stretch of me starting and ending the msq

Who's mad about other players having fun healing?

Yet another attempt at a gotcha post by someone openly displaying their lack of basic reading comprehension skills.

Read below. It's in the original post.

• This strike is a protest. As such, it is not intended to disrupt the game or the players who have subscribed to FFXIV.
  
• The message of the strike is a collective voice of those who are not happy with the state of healing and healers in FFXIV.
  
• Players supporting the strike wish to hold the development team and Square Enix accountable on their promise to provide a fulfilling and enjoyable experience for everyone.
  
• The activity of a player supporting the strike has chosen to not participate in duties as the healer role. Most supporters are still going to actively participate in duties, meaning they are still contributing to the community. Just not as a healer.
  
• No player participating in the strike is telling others to do the same or to spread the hashtag. Those who do so are doing so at their own volition.

Oh no, it was just a minor oversight, we'll have OP quickly get every single person in existence with a healer leveled above 90 to stop queueing healer indefinitely.
