This is what I dont like "oh wow im playing super optimally, everyone should do the same."

Ive researched my classes, I know what the optimal rotations are. Guess what half of the time I dont bother keeping track, as long as I perform well and do boss mechanics thats good enough and this is how FFXIV is designed, its designed for the casual players to have fun without worrying about being super hardcore. When I did Shb savage trials back when they were relevant, I didnt expect the group to do max damage, I expected them to mostly know the fight, allowing human error and guess what it was a positive environment. Is it the most efficient? No, but Im also not going to push every player in this game to adhere to my rules. Just like you shouldnt push others to parse just because you find it good for you.
I'll only push others to fix their dps if dps is the core issue. Mechanically they can be just fine. But if we're in a pre-made or even a static - yes, I'm going to have an issue with people sandbagging runs.

Personally I don't care about DF. But I do care in a pre-arranged environment where decent dps allows for clears. The minimal expectation in raiding is competence. Both mechanically and dps-wise.

I won't harass people who don't do either. I'll just kick them. Or request my static lead to either talk to them or remove them from our 8 man if they're not willing to improve.
