What are the most common reasons people don't dps?

I am in the healers need to decide for themselves whether they want to DPS or not camp, but I do think that if a healer can DPS, they should do it. I agree that maybe a fix for this would be to increase the healing requirements during fights, but this will also open up another problem. This problem is DPS players who underpreform, right now the dungeon run goes alot faster, because healers are DPSing and tanks switch to their DPS stance more often. If this bonus DPS were to go away, then fights would require more DPS from DPS players.

As much as I want to see SE increase the healing requirement, I think we need to fix low DPS from DPS players first, because even though the new Stormblood changes have decreased the gap between high-skilled and low-skilled DPS players, the average random DPS player is most of the time still (from what I have experienced) underpreforming.

And that's how the fights should be, with everyone contributing with the party with their speciality.

And more DPS from DPS players? I am sure that they will be more than happy to see bigger numbers popping from their damage skills.

Agreed. But they must take care to not fall into the powercreep trap. I think that one solution is could be solving the buttonbloat problem. Overly complex rotations (like SMN's) will only keep the median player from making a proper rotation.
