Tanks and healers learn very quickly in this game that you need to play your job at least semi-competently, failure is usually met with a wipe (of course there are still exceptions and these exceptions are immediately ousted in groups).

But DPS literally get a free pass. Or if they're really bad they can have the rest of the group carry them and can justify playing poorly because they're protected by the ToS? No one has yet to explain how that makes sense.

I just think it's silly 9 times out of 10 no one is paying attention to a specific person, I could roll into dungeons on literally any class and play stupidly and it's okay? "I'll just spam full thrust combos on drg, or just spam cast heavy shot and barely dot things on bard, maybe I'll go on my potato blm and cast blizzard for the entire dungeon, but good golly gosh I hope no one triggers me and says my dps is bad coz I'll just report them! "

I really hope that at least gets through to someone because that's not exactly far from an exaggeration....
I had not thought of it from that perspective and I only play my tank or healer. BLM is realistically retired because I wont wait int he queue. That is a very fair point and that is why no one is talking to you, there is not counter to your point.
