Yes, absolutely. I don't find damage-based gameplay in FFXIV to be interesting, in the slightest. Either an encounter has no DPS check(s) worth an iota, in which case, the only person cares how well you can deal damage is you yourself. Or else, there's a hard-enrage DPS check, in which case, because the encounter design is inevitably on a tight-and-fixed script, either you cosplay at being a robot who can do the optimal sequence of actions, or else you're just a hindrance to the party.
