why should it? if 1/2 or 2/3 of the PT is badass i dont see why they should be hammered with a fail, just because mechanics dont alow for a recovery or progression through the fight. Its all about covering your weakspots in a PT. This is frankly not possible in FFXIV, where as in 11 you can do that, you can cover your PT weakspots with dedicated people that have the excellent gear/skill/knowledge. In that sense even if 2-3 of your friends arent a top notch player you can still take them with you, because you can cover the ground by your hardcore people. I still play FFXI, and we have people that dont have the gear/skill on the same playing lvl as our hardcore members, but we can do raids/events with them, because we can cover their weakspots. This isnt possible in 14.

This makes fights that much more interesting is if you can recover from an almost wipe.
