#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Friends in VC;

"Healer's strike is dumb, why did they choose THIS expansion to strike?"
"What are they even going on about? Seriously they are nothing but a bunch of casuals complaining"
"Well, a few of them do harder content, but I swear this is people just complaining and not knowing why"

Me;

"So, I know that some people are joining because the 1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1 spam is boring and puts people to sleep. They are just wanting it to be interesting"

Them:

"Y'know what? That's kinda fair. I don't play healer's because of the spam"


It was just funny. Current content does look to be really fun and I actually been looking at it with starry eyes kinda wanting to heal for it. . .but then I just remember the spam and most of my drive goes away.

This has been my experience as well. It seems a lot of people only have information about the whole affair from streamers and we all know how they covered it.

I'll never understand why so many people take CC's words as universal truths, especially when you know that CC's goal is to say whatever gets them more viewers and subs while they don't even mean what they say most of the time.

I don't get it either but I'm an oddball in that I don't understand the whole gaming streamer/youtuber thing in general. I would rather just play the games myself or with friends. The only YouTube content related to FFXIV I watch are Extreme/Savage guides and occasionaly job guides.

Not all of us are like that lol.

Virtually everyone I talk to outside of these forums, the conversation goes exactly just like this.

Hahah that was exactly the kind of conversation I saw in /shout when questing through the 4th zone.

And I don't even feel starry eyed anymore because I've been disappointed every time. It's the same every expansion. Casuals who come back after a two year break are a little overwhelmed and tell everyone how busy and fun healing is, until the first crafted gear is released and everyone is overgeared for normal level capped content for the next two years. I'm not going to play a role that is moderately fun for a few weeks every two years, when there are roles that are fun all of the time. Questing, dungeons, raids, trials, synced or capped, geared or undergeared, in good and bad parties; other roles are more fun than healers regardless of the time and place because their rotations are designed to be that way.

Please try not to get mad and read through my entire post.

I don’t recall whether or not I was specifically responding to you or someone else, or whether it was against you or as a tangent spun from you because it’s been a while. Regardless of whether you meant whatever it is you said or were sarcastic, this is a behavior I’ve seen a lot of since this whole strike started. Literally, all it was was a thread started out of frustration in seeing the third expansion where healers receive ZERO changes meant to address any of the long-standing feedback that players like myself have given. So many people outside of this circle have spun their own narrative on what ex healers are doing and created boogeymen out of nothing and are dehumanizing us, dismissing us, laughing and making fun of us as a result. So I stand by what I say that this behavior is disgusting whether that applies to you or not.

As Snow said, healing requirements have not changed. We’ve been through this song and dance before, you’re just falling for the same new expansion smell syndrome. We have weaker gear, and a lot of weaker players. It will change real quick. But if you’re enjoying yourself, that’s great. Enjoy the game. I’m not saying you can’t.

But I have no job to play because my play style is relegated to PVP only after being deleted from PVE content, so I’m simply waiting for it to return to PVE before I return to FFXIV. I will continue to give feedback until my subscription date runs out because I want to play Dawntrail. I want to enjoy this game and be a part of the community. All I want is to stop being excluded from the game for my preferences for fun, dynamic offensive gameplay on a healer.

I'm not reading through 640 pages, but as someone who had issues with healing being too easy in Endwalker, I really like the dungeons and trials so far in Dawntrail. They actually made them fun to heal.

Trials, yes. Dungeons are still a snoozefest.
