Letter to MR Yoshi: Why parses system is destroying the ffxiv world.

Cool, how about the 500 times when the run went well?

Exaggeration. Yet we need to totally overhaul the game because of the 1% of runs people remember that sucked.

Riddle me this. Ask yourself why there's a major shortage of tanks queuing up for content, and why there's such a misguided focus on demanding that healers need to DPS.

Hint: The average skill level of the playerbase in DF is considered quite bad, bad enough that many tanks I know will actively avoid using DF without a friend or two to take along. Bonus points if the crap DPS is demanding the healer to use DPS skills to speed up the run, when they themselves are in reality doing less DPS than the tank. The stress level of a tank and healer skyrockets if the mobs aren't dying at any reasonable rate.

I actually made an effort this past week to try tanking in level 70 dungeons as a DRK. I just decided to nope back to Bard because a significant portion of the DPS I ran into weren't even trying.
