#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Blixie]

I support this effort.

I've been following this thread from the beginning. And I have never played a game that systematically destroyed its own balance the way this one has.

I want to say thank you to the OP. You put yourself in the line of fire, knowing you would likely be targeted by the puerile and seriously disordered that appear so clearly in this thread as festering sores on the backside of the FFXIV community. I haven't posted on the forums before specifically because the privacy features in this game are/were appalling and I haven't been willing to risk being targeted myself.

And thank you to all the healers who kept the constructive conversation going in spite of the best efforts of all the above mentioned festerers.

To all those crowing about stepping into the healer role for a day-
Get back to us in a few years and maybe we'll talk.....

Today I saw 428 healers.

ast changes are the reason i no longer play healer.

im sick of the devs giving every other role the attention when they cry out for it. especially those with big content creators playing the job.

healers ahve been asking for changes for YEARS and the devs juist keep doubling down on the decisions.

the devs do not like healers that much is clear. they dont want us having fun

It’s funny how the expansion is about the leaders listening to the struggles of those under them and learning/understanding the issues - and do what they can to make them happy.

Instead of telling them to “just leave and go somewhere better”, to instead find how to improve things so people won’t have to leave or make such hard sacrifices. Yes, some may be happy with how things are, but some see how those things aren’t sustainable or better.

It’s a very disappointing disconnect to see the very team preach one thing and their actions do otherwise. It’s also disappointing in the lacking empathy of some of the posters here mocking the heal strike. If they played this expansion, they’re not paying attention to it.

The thing is, they do listen to the community... But the part they listen to is that they find a few Japanese players who are content with the gameplay essentially being in maintenance mode and think they represent everyone.

Which is sad, because that’s literally what the antagonizing sides of the story do.

It was never happening to begin with, just a vocal minority screaming into the void.

There has been people shouting something along the line of “How’s that healer strike going now, huh? Got my quick pop.” in new zones.

The funny thing is.. it hasn't officially started!

If the Devs pay a little bit attention, even 10% of the entire community's focus on this, that would still, in my opinion, lead to positive change. What we need now is perseverance, because such changes would not be coming very soon - and that is a "lost art" in today's instant gratification world. But, who better than healers can persevere in difficult times, hehe

It has, a bunch of Healer mains have converted to DPS.
The strike in the name was basically just a clickbait about Healers who quit the shitty role to play the fun Roles and explaining why. Have to say a lot of the healers I have got in trials are complete noobs who haven't played the role much, we had a Sage who almost exclusively GCD aoe healed instead of oGCD/Mit. Had a bit of an effect in that way at least.
