Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

I haven't played any other MMORPG where you could do 80% of your job potential and still be considered an elitist. Final Fantasy XIV - The game which makes you gud.

I haven't played any other MMO but there's just no reason not to always do your best. I mean, it doesn't take much effort. You don't even need food/pots to clear things unless you're doing early prog or want to clear things faster. Regardless, people should know how to do their openers and rotations and there's just no reason to slack or not use skills.

I got told I was bad around when I was first playing and I was playing NIN. I went and learned how to play the class after that and then learned how to play every other class I regularly wanted to play. It takes no effort and you don't even need to be a basement dwelling nerd. I don't see why it's so difficult for people to read and figure things out.
