They are only important if you are going for top parsing, and those are the very small minority of people in the game. Its not a matter of encouraging them to play poorly, it is a matter of prioritizing the parts that actually make up the vast majority of your DPS. The only melee class I'd even mention positions on as a major factor in performance is monk. All the rest? if you hit them, you hit them. If not no reason to get bent out of shape and think you suck. Even on Dragoon, just fucking around you'll hit a good portion of the positionals just by sitting on eth edge of the side and rear of the mob without really trying to actually hit them.
Exaggerating much?

Yes. The bosses spin, but it's not like they're carousels that are constantly spinning in a circle. So sure, if you lose a positional because the boss decided to spit a fireball at the healer, then yeah. That's going to happen. But you also shouldn't be just ignoring them because "what if boss spins!?" you still move as though you're intending to hit it, and if the boss spins and you miss it, then so be it. You still make the effort. You don't just camp out on the boss's backside because you think they're not worth it.

We shouldn't be telling people to ignore them and encouraging them to play their job poorly. It's not just about getting top parse, it's about playing your job correctly. Hitting positionals is like the second level of bare minimum playing a melee job properly, with the first being just hitting skills at all. It's the one thing every melee job has in common, and the main mechanic of playing that role. If you want to ignore that, go play a caster, ranged physical, healer, or tank where they don't matter.
