I think it comes down to, this isn't a dev problem other than rotations could be clearer but I think it is the way it is because they want people to interact. Instead of a tool, receive some mentoring. Instead of being frustrated, offer mentoring.
This sounds reasonable, but if you look at it again then it comes problems. Let's use Bob as an example.

Due to the prohibition of third party softwares, other players may have troubles to give advices to Bob. If Bob dies to mechanics, then it is easy to say something about that. If Bob does not die to mechanics but is under-performing, there is no way to tell this with limited information provided by the game itself. Even if other players try to give Bob advices, Bob can choose to listen or not. Since the game does not tell Bob that he did poorly, Bob has no reason to believe what other players said is true. In the mean time, more and more players will get discouraged on giving advice, since they gain no benefit and may get reported or get banned. There may be lots of players who seek to improve, but they have no way to get any information about their performance (for example ps4 players).

This process repeats as Bob can continue to join other parties in the pf for High End Duties without getting into any troubles, even though his skill is not ready yet.

As a mmorpg, the community definitely serves as an important role of improving players' skills, but devs do not support or even against such community.

Devs definitely know what kind of rotation exists in this game, as they even nerfed one of ninja's skills because some players found out a better rotation than what Devs know. So Devs should at least provide some tools in the game to help players better understand their roles.
