    The overwhelming sentiment from the player base based off forums, discords (check BLM lounge in balance) and Reddit: This is a bad change. I tend to lurk in these places and check the ongoing sentiment of the players. There's an extremely minute few people who like all these changes. I suggest you break out of your bubble and delve into some of these discussions because it is not just "a bunch of people complaining on forums".

    You want fast casting with no timers? Go play WHM. Go play RDM. Go play SMN. No need for BLM to also be in this state.

    What you're seeing is the vocal minority. The majority of people are actually in-game playing BLM, and enjoying the changes. People don't go to discords/forums/reddit to talk about how they like stuff (99% of the time), if they did, you would see that people actually like the changes. Take what you're seeing with a grain of salt, and actually take a look around.

    “Dont look anywhere just assume everyone is enjoying it”

    Your in game vibe check is even less reliable than checking the listening posts

    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

    Not sure what you're quoting, but I can't imagine it's from anything I said. I never said that you should assume everyone is enjoying it. I'm simply saying you should leave your bubble of only seeing negative black mage posts, and get a more balanced view/take on how people feel about the BLM changes.

    > Your in game vibe check is even less reliable than checking the listening posts

    It sounds like you just want to believe that everyone hates the BLM changes, so there's no point in even having this conversation. I'm not oblivious to the fact that _some_ people are unhappy about the changes, but I don't think it's the majority. Like I said, if people went to the forums, discords, reddit to shout about their love for the BLM changes, you would see that a lot more people like them. But, we can't have balance - especially, on the internet.

    he's not wrong though, it's no suprise the same few faces including yourself frequently visit the OF and comment on almost every single thread pertaining to jobs. it's not an insult but it does show you and people like you are for more invested in the jobs being a certain way and expressing that vocally than most players. It's true i know many people who feel like you that voice a similar sentiment in silence but i also know some people who are ambivalent, or simply don't care.
