They promote laziness in players who would rather stand in one place and spam their rotations rather than dodging attacks (which would lower their DPS scores). They undermine the entire basis of the way this game is played.
Example: So me using a parser on training dummies as a MNK to improve my rotation, then use it again while I test it out in an actual dungeon is making me a lazy player?
If a DPS player is good, their downtime on a boss will be very minimal. I can dodge repelling shots, piecing lasers, ballasts and all that as MNK in T2 and still keep up DPS, if not surpass, players who play ranged classes.
