Wouldn't you commend the exception then? (By that I mean a SAM playing exceptionally well, not passably). It seems odd to ban a class from comms regardless of individual performance.

I don't disagree and I main SAM (I won't pretend I don't have room to improve). I think the reason you see a lot of medicore SAMS is too many players see it as the "I don't have to do utility class" and less responsibility. Damage is a Sam's utility and if you aren't pushing it all the way, you bring nothing to the group. You still have a responsibility to play equally well to the Nin or Drg, you just have a different focus.
