"D" is not frowned upon if all you want is to get a high school diploma. If you want to get accepted to a good college, then "D" would not be enough.

But that's different than playing FFXIV because there are no teachers trying to get you to do the harder content. In fact, it's the opposite, people don't care about you once they leave the party. If you are trying to do content where people are being picky about who gets to be included, then just like getting into a good college, there is a competitive scene where you can be "underperforming" even when you can clear the content. But in a content where you are just randomly grouped, that's largely irrelevant.
