Maybe people are satified with beating content and not how big their number was? Blanketing all players to play as a top tier raider in all content is what slowly killed ff11 for some. Every player was told to gear swap or quit the game no matter the content. Even leveling people did it before GoV tomes.

    I think the game is fine as it is, keep parser use to top tier players in preformed groups for toip tier raid content, and let those who don't wish to play at that level (or can't due to personal things) be abler to play in a relaxed enviroment.
    You're talking about baited questions, yet you're going to extremes yourself. Why does it have to be "play mediocre" or "min-max"? Many players have the notion that performing your correct rotation is min-maxing, but it goes so much beyond that. Playing your correct rotation is the least you should do as a DPS, min-maxing and playing at top level is much more involving.

    Because you keep ignoring that some content in this game DOES require players to play at the top tier level. If they don't want to, then they should not be doing this content unless they're paying for a carry because they are a hindrance to their group, and that sounds pretty selfish to me. Some content requires big numbers to get past certain phases, and players who are not playing at that level should be held accountable for it, but again, you keep ignoring this and insist that DPS players playing as they should is a luxury rather than an expectation.

    Fact is, if healers and tanks played at the level that many DPS players in this game do, tanks wouldn't be able to hold enmity, causing wipes, and healers would not be able to react in time to keep party members alive. Whenever wipes like these happen, everyone is quick to point the finger at a tank or healer, but god forbid that you tell a DPS player that their numbers are low and are getting in the way of a clear. The job of a tank is to keep enmity and use their cooldowns, healers must keep the group alive, and if they are comfortable, they can add to the damage being done, and DPS are expected to DPS, not be absolved of any responsibilities, and it's a double standard if you think otherwise.

    Furthermore, even in easy content like A1N, the only reason that the DPS who pulls extremely low numbers is clearing the fight is because the other 3 members are making up for their lack of damage.
