    People will defend it, say its always been that way so its fine, but thats the truth. Its like that so you can't rush to BiS, so they can make more sub money.
    Pretty much any gated system is done the way it is for the simple reason: To keep the monthly sub money coming in.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
