You're not wrong. It's clear from the forums general vibe that while they can tell an entertaining story, the devs seriously do not know and do not care to know how to balance the healers.

But that's really no different from every MMO for the last 25 years. There is always some voice loudly insisting that their specific niche of the game is so woefully underdeveloped that the people in charge of that aspect must have all been recruited from a Pizza Hutt dumpster raiding party.

And that 25 year thing, that's important for the context. Honestly.

We have been having these same, repetitive discussions for twenty *years* across enough electronic landscape to stretch to the moon, and yet some people really don't get tired of going back in for another whiff of that stale air.

I'm not trying to say discussions shouldn't happen, but my god man. Read the room. Drop your thought and let it be. If one thousand page megathread or a thousand three comment "I'm special too" threads on a subject are all being soundly ignored (in your opinion) then continuing to whine into a vacuum with no audience just makes you look stupid.

And you're not stupid, right?

I understand what you are saying. I really do. Yet, I feel that giving up and going silent is worse.

Our audience is ourselves too. We are sharing our combined experiences and thoughts; and by doing so, remaining a community.

A MMO ignores its community at its own peril. It affects their bottom line. Many developers thought they knew better than their players. Their failed games litter the landscape.
