Why do so many people FAIL at dps.

[TheUltimateSeph]

Those are definitely places to complain. Any content above level 50 is, really. By then people should at least know the very basics of their jobs and it's certainly a problem that a lot of level 60s still don't know these absolute basics.

I think you missed the part where I said as long as they aren't just auto attacking and the content is being cleared without wipes (or a lot of dum wipes anyway). Even if someone's dps is subpar if the content is being cleared smoothly I don't see any reason to complain. If anything give them advice on how to improve and if they are hostile or ignore you then leave the group.

*sigh* Sadly we did wipe 2 times doing add phase, I couldn't pick up his damage and we died by fire blast before shield come up which added to the frustration of my rant.

Well that sucks. That is pretty bad, yeah with ilevel 200 gear I can definitely understand your frustration. I know you asked him why he didn't use GB but did you try to explain to him why the way he was doing it wasn't right? If so and he just refused to listen I'm really sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry about my first post on this thread as well, at the time given the way your posts were worded it felt justified but your attitude has changed a lot already. I definitely could have offered something more constructive. I do agree with your overall rant that some dps just suck; in my opinion your post would have been taken more seriously without the Guild Wars 2 or Hello Kitty remarks, and the remark about being able to pick up any class and maximize its potential(that Ik you already apologized for) but hey hind sight is always 20/20 right? Personally I think if a person won't listen to polite and helpful advice on improving and refuses to pull their weight the best thing to do is just eat a penalty and drop. It sucks but you don't risk the ban from mentioning numbers from parsing or harassment of any kind. Maybe after being shunned enough in this manner people like this might start to wise up when they realize they can't get anything done because they are being lazy and no one wants to play with them because of it. I hope you don't get too many more groups like those though. At least, for me anyway, those groups seem to be few and far between which makes it a bit more bearable.

PS. Happy New Year!!!
