You're acting like these two things are mutually exclusive.

People won't participate because they don't want to be the ones being disruptive.

It'll make others hate them and probably even get them banned if they matchmake and ditch an active duty too many times, and maybe then having the hashtag on their search info could open them up to being reported for participating in group disruption.

People will see the hashtag and scoff at it because of comedic optics of 'striking' in a video game, but also because of the sheer impracticality of organizing a whole unionized movement on a Japanese MMO with different demographics, and if/when people actually try they're just disrupting the game as a whole and someone else will step in and do their job for them.

If people just don't play healer during the strike, then someone will pick it up and play healer.
That's part of why I chose to main SMN, because ARC can alternate between SMN and SCH without having to level up a whole separate class.

If people queue up in DF or look for PF and then dip to make a point, well that's their account they're risking.

And raid statics probably won't be affected by this either because they probably all know each other well enough and still want to play the game they're paying $14/mo to play.
