Using PF and Ex primals in your example pretty much has only one answer and that is yes, difference in playstyles also refer to the inability to clear content.

A better example is saying, "In a DF expert roulette, on trash pulls the monk does 2600, the BLM does 1100, the WAR does 500 and the WHM does 50 (assize). On the bosses the monk does 2100, blm does 900, war does 1200, and the WHM does 20 (aero 3)." Everyone is ilvl 260, tank has not lost hate once and the healer has kept everyone alive.

Now using the "arbitrary standard", would there be a kick for obvious 1-2-3 blm 50 rotation abuse? Or is this an example of apathy and the BLM is perfectly fine because even with his 1-2-3 rotation, the monk and war carried the party dps?
