    So then, what's the excuse for groups that have zero deaths but still fail to meet enrage? Again. Meeting enrage is a lot more than just "not dying and pressing 1-2-3."

    Of course, there will always be outliers, like me, why choose to play a job because they like it. However, my experiences with MMO sheeple show a big chunk of players only want to play number one on the parsers. In WoW, that was top spec/top build. IN FFXIV, that would translate to top job/top role picks.
    Please stop generalizing. There are plenty of people who play the job they play because they love the job, not just these "outliers" and not because it's number one on the DPS charts. I play BRD because I love the job. I started this game on BRD; I've tried switching mains a few times, but I always come back to BRD. Something about the job has me hooked, and it's certainly not being Number One DPS or Big D Numbers. BRD will never pull the kind of numbers SAM or RDM pull (if you put equally skilled and competent players next to each other), but that doesn't have me switching to SAM or RDM.

    This holds true for a lot of people. If people played because they enjoy Big D numbers, you would see a lot more (competent) Samurai, and a lot less of other "lesser" jobs. And that's not the case. A glance at any progression thread or FFLogs would tell you that.

    Parsers don't change the job people prefer to play. Saying they do is just a huge (and incredibly incorrect) generalization that you can't back up with any factual data or numbers.
