Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

[Kuwagami]

The more I think back about it, the more I'm amazed that such mentality is stronger in sub-based games than in free to plays. For all my experience in F2P, I have never met a player not performing at the max they could. Some had strange or atypic builds BUT they were trying their utmost because they didn't want to be a bother to other players.

On the contrary, every sub-based game I tried is plagued with slackers. Why is that ? Do people enjoy paying 15$ a month to NOT play a game as greatly as they could when they do it for free ? What the heck ?

Well when you get reported one day I'll be here having fun while you are sitting raging you can't play anymore

also FFXIV is designed to for solo players. Use of Duty Finder is strongly encoraged by the game itself and many quests cannot be done with a group due to private instancing. It's a pain in the butt to try and play with a friend.

Don't you worry. I never ever call them out on numbers unless they ask for them (and even then I never trash them people asking are people willing to improve). I don't need that to tell that a dps is horribly bad. The day I get banned will be the day I get hacked.

also, nope. You're confused between "solo game", in which performance doesn't matter if you win, and "solo player in a group game", in which performance DOES matter. Not to mention DF was originally thought to ease grouping for people who can't get a group together, not to become the "end-all-be-all" way to do content. But blah blah easier, faster.

They're third party software and thus against the TOS, Yoshi-P has stated he dislikes them because it breeds eliteism and thus has no plans to add one. (I vaugely recall talk of them consdieirng adding one that shows Your own and only your own DPS to appese the self improvement crowd though). They have and will ban players that publicly admit to using them.

And yet we're getting training halls which are a dps meter, although not a precise one. SE's actions contradict your claims here.

What is condemned and banned concerning parsers is NOT their use (all of the raiding groups publicly use them and show them on clear vids and such) but when you use it to trash someone else. Which is just being a dick anyway and would get you banned for harassment all the same
