    1) It's very fast and easy to get to 80 without doing much level appropriate content along the way.

    2) Rotations get pretty complicated by 80. The correct thing isn't readily apparent and as people have pointed out, the game badly needs some tutorials.

    3) People think they can learn their jobs by just playing them, so they queue into dungeons at 80 to try to get good. This is not unreasonable.

    4) Its reasonable to feel like you can sort out the ever-changing way the abilities work at 80, rather than trying to learn and relearn your rotation every ten levels. Dragoon and Summoner in particular change a lot every ten levels from 50 onward.

    Yeah, it is annoying to have someone pull small groups, or to fail to use their AOEs, but everyone in this game is at a different stage of learning and if the FFXIV community deserves its reputation as a good one, then it is up to us to show mercy to these people and try to educate them.
    Reality check is if they're clueless enough to provoke two people in the party to kick them, then they get stonewalled. At 80, the margin of acceptable cluelessness -- while generous -- is going to be less than that of 50.

    A great community (by the way) does not mean the community will put up with any and everything.
