I remember a time... it was but an expansion ago. They were going to introduce a brand new healer. It was going to heal through dps and have a focus on damage. Oh right... it's just scholar with lasers...
I doubt anyone part of the strike wants to see every healer changed completely. Most of us would like the split with the old and new styles.
Currently, there's the camp that's unhappy and the camp that's happy. Switching all the healers back doesn't increase total happiness.... but splitting the healers into old and new makes a far larger rise in happiness.
I don't understand why your unwilling to compromise. If they actually came out with a healer that appealed to the old school audience that'd be fine to, but that's just not going to happen.
