Some of the choices they made for the regular things are rather nice. I don't know if you've farmed Hades recently, but he's pretty stingy. Same with the Eden TT card. I have most of this stuff too but there's always alts or helping friends who came after. There's literally something for just about everyone on this list.
    “There are some things on this list they have never had before”

    Yeah that’s half the problem. This is just a pile of STILL ACCESSIBLE old garbage with like 2 exceptions organised in exactly the same way as it always is. This is designed as a veteran retention campaign. Half the vets barely even need one or two of these items. Why do they never do anything out there with these?

    Offer a grand reward that’s like a ring that makes you do 30% more damage in fates or 20% more damage in non savage unsynced content. Allow people to earn tomes by doing things like killing NM’s or completing dalriada. Make it a path to the final reward that encourages you to do different things at every step, fish, deep dungeons, unsync an old extreme, alliance raids. Put old PVP rewards in it. Add a more useful version of the strider boots, ABILITY GLAMOURS

    Just do SOMETHING to retain veterans who don’t need to run prae 20 times to get a whistle they could have unsynced in 1/10th of the time because they are afraid of their level 80 rotations. Removing the card incentive from E12 isn’t a good thing, do we want even less people running anything that’s not gordias normal. I’d rather take the penalty than do gordias normal at this point

Saying something sucks is certainly feedback, especially when it ends up being a general consensus. Offering a reason why, and what would make it better would provide a lot more concrete foundation for actionable takeaways (hopium I know, but at least you can say you tried).
    Oh btw my answer to your hypothetical question is basically in the above

    As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.

    I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
