It will, of course, take more skill and dedication to do extreme and savage content and the game already provides ways for such people to organize these groups. You can be totally selective. If you choose to try this tougher content in party finder then you are taking a chance and if you get a slacker or a troll, it is not the fault of us atypical players and our lack of talent.
I don't think you know what atypical means >.>

Mo one is suggesting you need perfect rotations and melds, merely that you need to actually be doing something. I can't think of any normal mode trial where at least two players (as long as it isn't both tanks/healers) could sit down and not do anything that we still couldn't cleae through DF.

I had a MNK in Rab the other night who missed every fight. When he got called out he told us "does it matter?" and fed us some excuse about how his kid woke up unexpectedly. Well then drop! But the sad thing is it doesn't matter, our group was still more than capable of killing all our adds even with one DPS just literally not participating.

If no one had noticed that guy would have gotten his clear with literally no more effort than queueing and being willing to drag down his group... Why is that even possible?

Oh, right, because once you add in 3-4k of healer dps that doesn't even get factored into fights plus the fact that these "dps checks" are based around someone spamming one button apparently if you happen to have more than one competent DPS you're pretty much set.
