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

[Sebazy]

It was made just before SB, so it's more recent than CNJ quests.

And it's referring to how they did things in ARR which is a dramatically different game compared to what we have now.

Watch the following:

Note how whilst I DPS on the heart phase and dot gaols etc, yet didn't bother to maintain even aero on Titan. I was used to these Titan carrys dragging out and I knew this one would even more so because we had 2 tanks and soso DPS. It's pretty much as Yoshida says in the documentary, I needed to play the long game with my MP.

However, that was 5 years, 2 expansions and countless changes ago tho. That style of play is massively removed from what we have today. Resource management ceases to be a the issue it once was as you start getting 320+ gear, it takes wasteful amounts of aoe healing or hugely aggressive aoe DPS to seriously threaten your MP pull now assuming things aren't going horridly wrong elsewhere.

A good comparison might be saying that a TV documentary showing servants walking infront of cars with warning flags is still relevant because it aired on Dave last night. The documentary might be recent, but it's still discussing a bygone era.

I am soooooooo sick and tired of you guys quoting Yoshida as evidence of anything. I can quote the Hall of the Novice, cite the behavior of the AI healer in squadron missions and even point at the theme of the whole first few CNJ quests (you know things actually in the game instead of some random documentary of the making of the base game from literally years ago) and you guys act like none of those things have any relavence but think obscure old quotes from Yoshida are gospel.

I might have snorted a bit when I saw this =(
