The big thing with FFXIV is dps are held with little to no responsibilites. IMO there are not enough dps checks in the game outside of ex, savage and ultimate.
EX, Savage, and Ultimate basically describe all three difficulty tiers of endgame. Besides that, the other problem is 4 mans have 2 dps, of whom you can't (without a parser) easily tell who is not shouldering their share of the group's damage output. Let alone 8 mans where there are 4 dps, all of whom can hide behind their peers if damage is ever an issue.

While I agree that yes, the game's leveling process could incorporate more dps checks, I also say they would need to officially allow parsers at that point as well.
