You have to take into account new players; new players are having to learn way more than we did from 1-50. We had an entire 2.x series to learn our jobs front backwards forwards and upside down, so 50-60 was not as bad as having to learn and master 1-60 all in the scope of a month or two. The mechanics introduced in the new DPS jobs from 50-60 are IMO far more geared towards those of us that were at 50 going into the expansion. If I had had to learn BotD for instance only a few short levels after first hitting 50 on my DRG I probably wouldn't have been pushing out decent numbers either.

Also who even knows what gear that NIN was wearing.

Last night farming A1N for Anima Drops I outdpsed 3 BLMs and a MNK on my DRK on faust. Totally didn't care, cause we 1-shot it and went on with our lives.

Yep. The entire point was that someone before didn't believe that there were DPS doing literally half the damage of other players. The NIN had to be at least i170 since we were in Alex Normal, so even if he was new, he was at least in full Law gear or better.

But seriously, I don't think I could parse that low unless I left myself autoattacking and went afk. ._.

This is exactly my line of thought. Jobs like BLM are such that you'd have to TRY to do so little damage (knowledge of the rotations notwithstanding).
