#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[ZephyrMenodora]

It still does! In WoW, that is.

Never played Wow, but this is great to hear!

I miss the days of being actively sought after as a top healer in EQ1, EQ2, and Aion. These days I feel lucky if an MMO even has a healing class since so many of them just decided to drop Healers for action combat.

In XIV I make jokes in Alliance Raids about only needing to press a heal button every half hour. While obviously not true, it just feels that way.

Let me put it this way, in XIV healers are judged by their DPS, but in WoW they are judged by their HPS. That alone should paint a good picture.

HPS is where it's at.

Watching youtube videos while I press Glare for long periods of time aside from reapplying a dot isn't it.

This is still going on? You do realise your strike is rendered moot entirely by the trust system right?

And then also people who don't frequent forums at all will be there for the trials.

If you think its pointless, why are you here?

No one here actually thinks that doing this strike will grind the game to a screeching halt come dawntrail. You're welcome to do trusts, please, go ahead and tell me just how much fun those are. As for the trials... Of course you will find healer players, or people changing to healer for the quick queues (assuming they've been doing the msq as them...)... But queues will be very long for DPS.

This isn't about 'punishing people for playing the game', it's about sending a message to the devs that a lot of people who have stuck with this role for a very long time are unsatisfied with the game and are willing to take action over it. You can sit here and smugly point out how people will find queues and clear content anyways, but we already know that. It's not the point.

But go ahead, feel free to stick around and continue being rude and dismissive for no reason. Does it make you feel better about yourself?

The great community that harasses new players if they don't follow the rules of discord servers they are unaware of and are toxic to anyone who ever has a criticism of their comfort game? Lol.

How to not get reported and/or harassed:

1. Only talk about in-game topics, nothing irl.
2. Do not criticize anyone.
3. If someone is playing poorly, silently leave. Do not announce the reason.
4. Don't lose your temper. Immediately blacklist any player who makes you angry.
5. This one may be controversial but I'll say it anyway because it's true. You can't make enemies if you don't make friends. Most drama comes from players who already know you so staying anonymous has its perks.
6. Stay out of Novice Network. It will help you with points 2, 4 and 5.
7. Make your own fc and only play with like-minded people. People cannot control your access to fc features by spreading rumors about you if you are the leader.

After a 20 day ban the next one may be permanent so you might want to be careful.

Truely the greated most friendly playerbase in an MMO.
Where one can get reported and/or harassed when trying to make friends but suprise, it was an enemy.
Or when trying to help others when they do something wrong but they find it offensive and criticising that someone dares to tell them what to do.
Where one can't interact with players who doesn't share the same mindset otherwise they might find something offensive and reports your ass.

I agree wholeheartedly!!!

Yeah this community is the worst, when we returned to the game my husband joined the novice network to ask questions and when he accidentally left his chatbox open once and put 113244 in chat the so called mentors lost their sh*t and threatened to boot him from the network, all this is showing is the same sort of power trip.

Worship me or you're the enemy..

As an Astrologian Healing Main who's hearts been broken by the new Dawntrail changes, plus overall tired of the way healing is working in-game currently, count me in.

There's no wonder why people wants to be able to play the content solo with bots in dungeons etc, when basic human interactions can be deemed offensive and bannable.
It's not the difficulty of the games content that gives people anxiety, it's the players whom might find you a problem if you don't follow "regulations".
