When dps dont aoe should they just get kicked from the start?

As a somewhat new player, I find myself oftentimes forgetting about my AoE because it doesn't seem to do a whole lot of damage. I do remember it though, just not always right away, and some people I've run intoreally differ on whether they want you to use it or not. I've not used it, and been told to, and other times in similar situations I've been told not to use it. My ex-bf told me this weekend that if he pulls more than 3 I'm to use AoE and yet other times people have told me not unless there's more than 5. So, it's a bit confuzzling.

I will say that I'd 100% hate being kicked because I wasn't using AoE. At least tell me what you prefer and I'll do my best to accommodate that. Just don't wantonly kick me because I'm playing a way you don't like when I have no idea what you like.

People may do that out from knowing some job and I am assuming you are talking about BLM. With 2 targets, you should be releasing thunder I/III procs on each of them while casting single target, then you flare when mp is low. Some jobs like BLM do slightly unique things when there is 2 monsters, but in general, 3+ you flat out always aoe with the aoe variant of thunder, unless you get a super early poc, then single target thunder on the highest hp monster. There are some moves that do require 5, like arm of the destroyer for monk someone said, so if they know monk, telling a blm when to aoe, it might be a bit wrong on the exact monster count when to do so.
