Going on 2 hours of radio silence after logging in to find my character in GM jail

You have to do this for standard rotations/optimized openers anyways. This game doesn't tell you anything to help you formulate optimized openers - it's honestly severely lacking in internal resources for improving performances; SSS included in this.

I don't know of any game that tells you how to optomize openers and rotations, xiv is not alone in this regard. To expect this seems rather silly imo.

The game provides enough information from tool tips to be able to put together at least some semblance of a rotation, and you can formulate an opener based on those tool tips as well.

I mean, I've never looked up a Bard guide, hadn't played it since I got it to 70 after stormblood, and you can look me up. None of the jobs except mch and smn really need guides on rotations and openers. The only thing Sam benefits from is CD alignment depending on skill speed, so in that regard sure.

Part of the problem is people just don't even try. How else do you get level 70 players in o10n who run away with stack markers multiple times.
