Yes, it was an exaggeration, but it was an exaggeration to try and amplify the problem to make it more pronounced and easier to identify, however, you have still missed the mark.

Yes, encounters have a minimum performance on a per fight basis, however, the point I was trying to get across is, SE have a minimum criteria for each job in each fight, which is how they derive the minimum performance for a given fight. This means, each job and by extension the player using the job, has a minimum fight contribution that SE expects you to have to be able to clear the content.

Yes, the group as a whole cleared the content, but that one person performing under what SE has calculated for a minimum performance, should they be allowed to clear by riding on the coat tails of the other party members who are performing higher than the minimum? This is the answer you have yet to give. They clearly are not skilled enough for the fight from a damage perspective, so should they even be running it?

This is also why I gave the example of having a whole party that just meet the minimum requirements. The theory being if just one person doesn't perform to this minimum, the party as a whole will not clear.
