Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

[Awha]

Competence is the ability to do something successfully. If you can reliably clear content on DF with any random party, then you are competent at least for Normal contents in the game.

So to underperform for any given content would be to perform at such a level that would prevent you from clearing the content, thus making you incompetent for that particular content until you improve your performance.

The thing is, as a party-based content, unless there are mechanics that test individual performance, then it is the party's performance as a group that matters more.

Competence is to do something successfully or efficiently. Which ever what one prioritizes depends on the person. Some may just go based off completion and others may go based off efficiency.

It really depends on the person for some group performance is all that matters but for others the desire of having everyone carry their own weight is important.

Completion in itself may be enough for you but it may not be the case for others. So it is not a one size fits all standard. Sure some may be fine with a full party of gray's and others may have a higher standard.
