    The amount of toxicity they generate isn't worth it. I reject your opinion entirely that they don't cause toxicity.
    You're the leader of a PUG party (or even a static) trying to clear the new EX / Savage fight but are having trouble clearing the DPS burst phase mechanic.

    You have a a DPS who is putting out as almost much damage as their job possibly can, 90-99%.

    You have two DPS who are somewhere in the middle.

    And you have one DPS who is missing GCDs.

    How do you determine who might be slacking a bit that can help out the group? You're not going to stare at their character during the encounter.

    If the mob dies before the enrage, you won. You did the DPS needed.
    And when the mob doesn't die, it helps to know who you can help as a group improve so you CAN beat said boss.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
