It made me curious, thus I looked up their rotations and what they were doing. That couldn't have happened with a parse. What Yoshida's chasing is a fools goal. A good number of people have no idea they're doing something wrong because they game never tells you otherwise. You have no frame of reference short of "did the boss die or not."
The skill gap will never lessen because the devs go about it the wrong way... too afraid to push the bottom players to improve what the devs do is try and drag the top players down closer to them..

content itself also doesnt ask or even incentivise players to improve... you want that shiny mount but the fights a bit tricky.... don't waste time trying to up your game. we'll bring the content down to you... and hand you your shiny mount on a silver platter.

doesn't matter how many tools the devs added unless they changed the content to actually promote player growth and had better rewards to incentivise. its a dud. but again SE wont ever do that instead they'll just keep trying to drag the top players down andfailing miserably to close the gap
