"So yeah, outside of the most competitive of players, DDs are not held accountable for their performance. They lack both the incentive and the means to improve themselves. They are plagued with the delusion that as long as they're alive and dealing some degree of DPS, it is enough to say that they're adequately doing their job, even if their DPS output is shit. As a result, exceptional DDs are extremely rare and extremely difficult to identify without a parser. Mediocre DDs who don't know they're mediocre are commonplace. And really, who can blame them?" - bokchoykn (ff14 reddit)
