The reason for that is that the game is easy. It's only required for ultimate or savage in progress (and even then you can do without) > for clears I'm talking here.

Now certain statics it's a requirement because they always want to reach higher, so they coordinate their buffs together, pot usage, etc to keep trying to reach more DPS numbers. There's competition for that.
It's not about clearing the content, it's about how fast you can clear it with what jobs and how much DPS everybody did.
