Because this community loves to mollycoddle the mediocre. You need only read these forums for a brief space to learn that for a lot of players, expecting something called "effort" is entirely synonymous with being an "elitist". How dare you expect a tank to hold threat! How dare you expect a WHM to do more than throw out Regen every 20 seconds! How dare you suggest a MNK actually land his positionals! How dare you tell that BLM to stop spamming Blizzard II! I've played many MMOs in my time and I think XIV is the only one I've ever seen where people try so hard to play poorly or to excuse poor play. It's just like being a sane man in a world full of crazies.
