here you go. Even the vaunted WoW has noticed a problem with tanks being unkillable. a little knowledge of the issue goes a long way.

I never thought I'd see the day when a blue post from WoW stated exactly what Final Fantasy XIV needs to do for the health of the MMO. If only we could get a similar post from Yoshi... it doesn't even need to be the same actions. We just want some acknowledgement that there is a problem and they are taken steps to address it.

Waiting two or so years for something to happen in 8.0 is much too long. It's a ridiculous to expect customers to be patient for that amount of time.

It wouldn't be the first time. Yoshi-P took a lot of inspiration from WoW back when designing 2.0 and effectively took the good ideas that WoW had discarded and incorporated them here instead. But I'm not sold on this particular one. WoW long ago chose to go all-in on the e-sports approach. That specific post that you're quoting is precisely about "the hardest content in the game." We're over here in FFXIV, which is not an e-sports game and is designed for a very different audience, talking about what happens in content across the board. That specific post you're quoting is focused on the veteran, highly-skilled players. Over here, we're talking about sweeping changes that would impact the typical, average player.

Waiting two or so years for something to happen in 8.0 is much too long. It's a ridiculous to expect customers to be patient for that amount of time.

You have to consider the larger playerbase, not just the minuscule few who are vocal on the forums. Suddenly making a big change that satisfies a few grains of sand while eroding half the beach doesn't help. The month and a half or so that this "strike" has been going on has only shown that many people "on strike" are now happily playing other jobs, while other players have slid right in to take their place healing. That doesn't suggest a need to make any significant changes at all, let alone right this moment.
