Yes we cant police everything we do but this is why I keep stating that we already have a compromise in that SE doesnt regulate it. Keep parsing to only the hardcore groups whom care about their own max performance. But Its not a big enough shared mentality for it to be warranted into the main game.
Why is "helping the group to complete the content" gatekeeping? It's not like gatekeeping based on age, race, or creed - anyone can put time into playing better.

It's not fair for a group to wipe over and over and waste time b/c players aren't willing to learn anything about playing their class well. FFXIV is deceptive in that a strong rotation isn't necessarily intuitive, and people can be playing badly without realizing it. If someone's not weaving oGCDs or whatever they're going to hurt the fun of the people they're partying with.
