To open, I didn't actually accuse anyone of viewing healers as anything, I just saw that stand out to me and made what I thought to be a valid point on it.

The way I see it, from SE's perspective, they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. They had complicated healers and people didn't get on with them so they oversimplified healers, now they have that and a happy JP customer base on one side and on the other you have an English speaking (and maybe others, I haven't looked) saying they want harder healers but can't seem to decide on what "harder" means - Does it mean a rotation? Does it mean Cleric Stance? Both? Does it mean more dps buttons? Higher healing requirements? How high? WoW? If I were SE I might be inclined to cut my losses and just accept unhappy EN forum healers.

Personally, as someone who wants to see productive movement on the subject I would suggest SE run an ingame poll, then publish the data by Data Centre for us to discuss and maybe find a direction of travel. Maybe this could be the first of a series of polls that decide where things go, what people like/don't like, maybe even broad whys for those.
