Large group play, heavy outnumbering and zerging need to be more difficult

That would actually be a significant buff to premade groups, since they would no longer need to deal with the problem of their heals getting "siphoned away" by other nearby non-grouped members of their own faction.Only ingroup healing goes against ESO playstyle and punishes hard purely casual players while merely annoys a bit premade groups.
Just for the record - a lot of players did state exactly that after the change was posted in the patchnotes.“We” thought that cross healing was too strong so we got healing nerfed by 20%. We thought to ourselves... too many people spamming rapid regen in a tiny area... 20% of 4x rapid regens is more than 20% of 1x rapid regens... this cuts group healing more than it cuts solo healing, this is obviously a good idea.
Oops. Getting melted. Solo players complaining they can’t heal. Surprise surprise, the 20 man group can still heal. Changed their gear. Not a big deal— they have protection. You can’t change your build the same way they did because you need to be balanced but they don’t.
There were numerous threads about this subject, both on the PTS subforum and in PvP combat, and even in general chat IIRC. Of course, as usual, the feedback was summarily and completely ignored by ZOS.1
