Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

[TheUltimateSeph]

I didn't consider or call them to be idiots, but rather summarized it (due to a lack for a better word) is that the situation is "what an idiot", similar to what you'd see for people balantly ignoring warning signs or very standard instructions in their setting. And now you're taking my words out of context (having a basic understanding of getting skills as you level) and applying it to a dungeon setting, which is an entirely different premise. It takes a lot more than missing their 50-60 skills to be able to slow a party run that long, otherwise you have bigger underlying problems.

Except that there are no instructions. There is no in game message telling the player they will have new skills. There is a big difference in ignoring something and not knowing about something.

The first bolded part, I'm sorry I fail to see the difference in the two. Both are referring to the person as an idiot regardless of the difference in wording.

Choosing between dodging mechanics or taking the hit depends on how well 1. the healer is healing and 2. will you take anymore damage in the next moments before being able to heal up? if you can take a hit and wont take damage again for a while then sure take the hit.

May not have been asked to me but if a BLM is using the 2.0 rotation and nothing else they shouldn't be in any level 60 content at all. If you are attempting to do your level 60 rotation im fine with that, but when you do your level 50 rotation just because you find it nerve racking or simply don't want to bother to even try to learn it then you are being completely rude to the other people and have no place being there.

The healer at the time was me so I knew I would be able to keep them up. In that case I guess it's fine I guess, though this could very well fall under the whole "Healer having to pick up the slack from dps wanting to stand in aoes" argument. There was no communication beforehand either that they weren't going to dodge the aoes so when I suddenly see them start taking big hits I am caught a little off guard.

In regards to a BLM using only their 2.0 rotation and nothing else not belonging in level 60 content I might agree with you if only it was required that they MUST use their 3.0 rotation to complete the content. If you have people who know their 2.0 rotations well, even if everyone in the party only uses their 2.0 rotations, they will still clear the content in a reasonable amount of time (and this will vary from class to class). Blame this one on SE for making it too easy. If the content could NOT be cleared without the use of 3.0 rotations then that would be a totally valid argument as to why people not using them should be completely unacceptable.
