There's no way that open communication about trying to kill the boss and making sure everyone is up to par is worse than the player who still doesn't know their rotation at level 90 and doesn't even have the right food buff on. And often you don't even need to bring third party programs into the conversation. When I look at the aggro list and see the dragoon below the summoner, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that someone doesn't know how to play their class.
Heard of Ventrilo? Oh that's old.... uh heard of Discord? Honestly knowing the numbers doesn't help, unless you're in one of those groups that's looking to toss people out for underperforming. Not enough DPS? so... Try Harder? You're not gonna learn a new rotation on the fly, but you may discover one. Improvement comes from familiarity with the fight and learning the flow. As you get more comfortable in the battle your performance improves. When you achieve flow the real gains come. Since few people understand that I don't bother with the high end stuff in this game.
