how ffxiv healers should choose to play?

This topic is not new, but in light of the proposed changes, like two more dps classes which all the dps has to choose from, could we now leave healers alone to play as healers, and those who want to dps, dps?
You're allowed to stick to your own playstyle - if that's healing ONLY, well, go right ahead.
However keep in mind that it's NOT against the TOS to kick people for different playstyles though, so if you're ever in a team that feels you should indeed be contributing to DPS, they can kick you and GMs are unlikely to do anything about it (unless of course they harass you, but then they'd get in trouble for another matter entirely).
Optimizing your job/role and utilizing all skills available to you is, to some players, something that is considered fun (personally I see healer DPS as utility - some DPS have team wide buffs, SMN rez, BRD/MCH regenerate TP/MP, so on so on, and healers can dish out some DPS to minimize time spent in an instance), and something that makes your contribution to the team's performance that much higher - now, I'm not going to argue with you why you should or shouldn't DPS; strictly speaking as a healer your core purpose is to keep the team alive long enough to see the instance cleared.

Wether or not the "healers need to DPS" mindset will remain or not will depend mainly on
1) Healing reqs for SB fights
2) Wether CS is or not one of the skills SE decides to remove

Bottom line, if nothing changes and instances (and their difficulty level) and skills remain unchanged, you CAN only heal, if that's what you want to do - keep in mind that people are not obligated to like that, and they're well within their right to kick you.
Thinking that many people would like to heal as a chosen playstyle. The feedback I have received before is that its not playing to 'optimal efficiency', but this is not a workplace it is where people come to enjoy themselves, not be coerced into doing a role that they didnt choose- dps as healer. Most dps did not choose to heal, and have a monopoly of different playstyles to choose from, on the other hand healers are being made to dps, to sort of make up for dps defiency, Then I see a question asking for harder content, just stop healer dps and the content will be harder to clear. Healers that want to dps go dps, leave others to heal or tank if thats what they enjoy.

suggest FFXIV to unlock Hempen set styles

As many will know, the Hempen "underwear" set (Hempen Camise, Hempen Pantalettes) is quite dramatically different depending on which race is wearing them. I would love to see these different versions of said items "unlocked", so that any race could wear any version of the item. This would give more ready access to something that is, in my opinion, sorely lacking for the glamour aspect of the game: More "light and simple" options for chestpieces. I don't know how much effort the "re-fitting" for the different races would take, but I would love if this could be considered, as it would allow for a lot more variety than is currently available without having to come up with entirely new designs, per se. As it is the hempen set is essentially a second RSE. Please bring all the different styles of the Hempen set to all races in the game. There's already way too little variety when it comes to glams and since there's already quite...

How fast and secure transactions use FFXIV Gil
