    DPS get lazy. Yesterday, I joined a bis ex clear party / I don't need it, but I wanted to help out/, and they broke the shell on the whales back on the first 2 wipes, but on the third, fourth, fifth, AND sixth wipe they kept reducing their dps and we ended up wiping right on the beginning. On the eight and ninth attempt, we got to the last phase AND they could NOT kill the whale EVEN with LB3. It was hilarious when I joined cuz they kept complaining how their previous TANKS did a pathetic job. They were telling me that they hope this time the tanks would tank properly =p. I was there watching how some dps died,fell off the island, and how they didn't activate the harpoon one time =x. I wonder how BAD their tanks were.

    Like most dps checks, when high level equipment becomes easier to get (plus echo bonus), BisEX will be easy to beat. Nowadays, gear alone isn't enough and players must know their rotations and use your skills wisely.

    BisEx fight also requires coordination, especially snake phase. I see a lot of people hit by the tornadoes (and lose precious dps) and attacking the wrong snake...

    More or less, this is what I think is the root cause. When I first started the game, I went DPS specifically to avoid responsibility. I had a very rude awakening when I was asked to silence ADS in T1, and I didn't even know how my silence move worked. Everything is a team effort in FFXIV; carries are always possible, but the game is designed with the intention that everyone, DPS included, will carry their weight. Once you pass four-man parties, the game becomes more demanding. That's when people that want a more casual challenge/adventure begin to hit a wall, and tiny errors become big problems if not addressed respectfully.

    Because consider this, Remember Garuda EX at minimum iLv? And now we're iLv170 at 60? Remove the 1 from 170. Now Imagine doing garuda EX with i70, there's your answer.

    Sadly that is partially true. They think they are doing awesome when there are other people playing the same job doing double the dps.

    If only they added JOB specific daily quest with tight DPS checks that reward you with some nice gear/accessories then things might change.

    Sad truth is that most of the people that play this game are absolutely awful at it.

    When in doubt, assume sarcasm
