FFXIV population decline continues

I'm thinking about how the Healer strike was quite vocal and even got attention outside of FFXIV on gaming news and such.
Has anything come of that since then?
I've not been paying much attention to it, but I haven't noticed anything so if that didn't get any traction (yet) then I doubt people being vocal on the forum alone will bring anything.

People really have to start unsubscribing in masses before SE takes notice of how serious people think it is.
Until people do it will just look like people complain but don't think the game is actually "that" bad to actually not play it.

I mean this seriously, jokes aside... there was a healer strike? I know it was a thing all over the forums, reddit, everywhere else etc. but did it actually impact anything? Other than hilarious people in PF trying to get gil to play healer.

It generated a lot of discussion about the state of healing among the community, which was kind of the point I think?

A lot of content creators covered it and I can guarantee you the devs will have seen it and are now aware that there are a decent number of players who feel that support roles have become boring to play in XIV.

It's nothing new, and their "healer strike" didn't really accomplish anything did it? Kinda just fizzled out after awhile.

I mean when literally every YouTuber has discussed it at least once and it’s basically become part of 14’s meme culture to demand a strike anytime you are dissatisfied it’s probably the furthest a player run initiative has ever gone in this game

If the devs still ignore it there is little more the playerbase can do at that point

Like do you want the strikers to start DDOS’ing the servers

My point is... there were strikers beyond people on reddit, forums, youtubers, and the goofs trying to get gil for being a healer? What exactly was accomplished? It didn't even seem like queue time was effected by people "not playing healer"

That's what I'm saying, did it really do anything?
So if a strike that got headlines outside of the Forum haven't gotten SE to act then people being vocal on the forum alone won't do anything.
Real actions has to be done to really show how unhappy people are.
However most people are too tied to the game to actually do anything to show it but being vocal.
