FFXIV Healer Strike and the 'How would you fix it?' line

[Aviatorhead]

the best way to "fix" it would be to stop playing healers, stop talking in the healer forum.
Just quit quietly and stop caring about healers for a few months even a year and play other jobs or games.

But this will never happend because the strike is actually a minority of players, the vast majority don't care.

Silently quit? Why? So you don't have to read our complaints? Devs gotta know why people don't like the role if they ever want to make it better. And even if they don't read this specific thread, having community discussions leads to other avenues of feedback (like bigger, well known community members talking about it, or threads on other forums).

Simply because the only thing devs looks at are statistics.
They fix things when stats shows it's not working, not by randomly scrolling the forums.
If you keep complaining about healers while you keep playing them.
The numbers only shows it's fine so they don't look into it.
Because stats are more reliable tools than subjective opinions.
Why would you invest time and ressources on something that is okay on paper ?

You can keep making 1000 pages threads, they won't read or let them ask you what you'd want.
So far nothing has been adressed about the healer strikes, look at the 7.2 patchnotes.
They don't care about healers at all because "the numbers are fine" so wait until 8.0.

Most of the known community members are not talking about it anymore.
They covered it a bit during "the hype" period and then proceed to their priorities such as talking about PF, third party tools and raid tiers.

If devs were so concerned about the state of healers jobs we would already have seens changes.
They almost reworked black mage so it fits 7.2 encounters while barely touching healers beside dots potency.

So, hundreds of pages of healers complaining about their role. For years, as some of you like to point out. And nothing happened. You keep playing healer and think that writing in a forum that is NOT visited by any devs that care is enough.

Exactly... This is what some people don't understand. The strike isn't huge and only numbers matters.
The only real way to make a change happends is for the numbers to show something doesn't work.
