    I remember when there were some issues in dungeons in WoW several years back. It was casual content, but they kept flopping between two mentalities. The first was that one bad player can kill the group. The second is that one good player can save the group.

    An example of the two mentalities would be a boss with an add that spawns that MUST die quickly, or it will trigger an attack that wipes the group.

    In the first mentality, the add has so much health that all party members need to attack the add, or the group will die. Even one unaware player failing to attack the target will damn the group. In the second mentality, a single skilled dps focusing all of his damage on the add will be enough to kill it.

    For most content outside of raid, FFXIV follows the second mentality. There is room for player error in most duties to accommodate the one bad player without punishing the rest of the group, and I think that is really all the MSQ content requires. One skilled dps can kill the bird add in Keeper of the Lake, a dps can take a dirt nap during Icecloak without killing the group, you can clear praetorium with a few people missing, Haukke manor is easy as long as one person can kill adds and/or turn off lamps quickly, and one dps can kill the tail in toto-rak before the others even notice it.

    It's a good strategy to follow for mandatory story content. Sure, it doesn't satisfy certain players, but they've got weekly raids to geek out about.

    All forms of garuda are ridiculously easy...
    OP has repeatedly been stuck with Garuda normal as his daily low level roulette. His repeated RECENT experience is that everyone is wiping over and over, with no chance of success, and he has to consider wiping some more OR eating a 30 minute queue lock-out if he abandons.

    Go single-handedly beat Garuda normal with three dead-weight players, and THEN tell OP he needs to get gud.
