#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Rein_eon_Osborne]

[...]By the way I'm right. Healer mains for years leaving will effect the quality of healers in PF, didn't say there won't be any healers in PF. All I said was the fact that if a bunch of healer mains who have played it for years stop playing it we will lose out on healers of that quality in PF.

Case in point, don't have to look back too far: Abyssos. A good amount of 'good healers' who were on hopium got fed up by Asphodelos that they either (a)Seclude themselves to the statics - myself included, or; (b)Stop healing next tiers entirely. What happens next was those same amount of missing healers are being replaced by new healers who were more accustomed to 'modern healerwork'. Suddenly Abyssos comes hard and is also adding an uncontrollable elements such as that one SAM who refuse to use their Feint.

Now what? These new healers either (a)Realize how $h!tty it was to be subjected to an uncontrollable element & taking the unwarranted blame for that, or; (b)Their 'softened resilience' having been babied by Asphodelos cripples them. Both of these cases leads to them refusing to heal (waiting for 4 hours for barrier healer on a friend's static was definitely fun time lmao). This sort of situation can indeed happen again.

Regardless, the strike has been meritful. People are talking about the strike. Naysayers are bumping and $h!ttalking the topic which ultimately brings up the discussion to common eyes more than any strikers tried to do. It brings more attention to these topics that both the dismissive job dev team & their white knight defenders desperately try to yell against/shutdown and sweep them under the rug hoping the storm to pass. Good. Let this be a common knowledge: healer role is a dumpster fire. Let more people be exposed to this (shoutout to Xenos for his most recent interview heheh). That'll kickstart the chain reaction and the feedback loop. Strikers who no longer play healer wins either way: quit healer and be happier - or see the conclusion favoring them to return to the role (even happier!).
