    Dang it's this thread again. I thought we mostly agreed that most of your rotation would either have to do piddly or nothing and be interrupted a lot for any of this to work while the on level people could do just as much damage while getting away from pressing less buttons. What I mean by interrupted a lot is that the monsters would die too fast to get through some job's rotations. Yes for some people seeing what cool awesome skills they'll get in the future will urge them on, but I feel that they're in the minority. Also just because you tell a not synced/geared tank to not worry about it too much and you can get through a run fine doesn't mean it can't be disheartening to the ones who actually care. It can also end up spitting out tanks like some posters on here who think face pulling is ok at higher levels and then wonder why they get kicked later on.

    Not to mention if they let synced down people have even more of a DPS advantage, it would encourage people to kick new players in hopes that another synced down would join, to speed up the run.

    And that is blatantly against the ToS.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
