It's not even learning your rotation. It's straight up not pressing buttons. The truth is a lot of people play casually and don't know basics like "always be casting" and "keep cooldowns active." Or even stuff with elaborate fight mechanics, we all know and laugh at the classic newbie move of running away with the stack market but the game has added so much shit like that you just have to know. We get used to it by doing raids where they're introduced but I've anecdotally seen a bunch of people who quit during like...Stormblood come back to the game and marathon everything now and just be like "wtf is this shit" at all the flashing lights.

And that's fine right, the game gets marketed as a story focused MMO. I do get annoyed when people don't just use the trusts to learn mechanics though. I had a 40 minute run of the final MSQ dungeon today with two newbies, Ive seen multiple 30+ minute in-progress and vote abandons of the Hydaelyn trial and it's just like...why.

edit: specifically I think those two things (as well as the final Shadowbringers dungeon too actually) are a little pushed in difficulty relative to other story content and the devs can get away with it because Trusts are basically a tutorial. But I think less people use Trusts for going through the story than expected so you get newbies queuing for them and eating shit
