Why are standards seen as a crime in this game?

I dont think it's only just the WoW community, i think it's a combination of things. I think it's people that are new to the MMO genre and people that are used to certain traditional play styles in MMOs.

I've literally seen people call people that use dps stance on tanks in endgame bad tanks because they have it stuck in their mind that if you're trying to push your damage as a tank that you're somehow not fulfilling your role.

There aren't many other MMOs that follow the Tank-Healer-Dps formula where the tanks are designed to push their damage and people who are either new or coming from other MMOs that are used to traditional support roles for some reason just can't accept that that's how it works in FFXIV.


It would make the community a better place if newer players coming over were more open to understanding that just because things are one way in other MMOs doesnt mean things are the same in FFXIV.
