#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

Guessing the expansion launches and we get 100 pages of people saying they got groups immediately and the strike failed, before we lose interest for 2 more years.

hm... I wouldn't be so doubtful so soon of the strike.

I'm still in the camp that this was amazing for awareness, but don't personally think it will change much in game. But never know.

We need to stay hopeful to some degree. This strike is already doing a good job of getting people to talk about healer issues. I personally expect DT to experience a dried up green river.

Gotta say it - I'd prepare for disappointment then. We're going to have a huge influx of players, some new, many returning. The size of the strike likely isn't even going to be a blip in comparison, and if by some chance it is, as soon as the "in need" role switches from Tank to Healer, there will be plenty of those new and returning people lining up to take the bonus.

Here's someone talking about it 4 months after Stormblood release, and the comments agree the queue times were long.

This further makes the strike unlikely to do anything. Even if other queues get slightly longer...that's entirely what's expected, especially with this being another expansion featuring both new roles being DPS.
