Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

[Reilyn]

Agreed, it was a loaded question with the intent of offending due OP standards not being satisfied.

Oh, so you're psychic, and knows the context of what happened before the question was asked.

Hmmm. No. No we don't. We don't even know 'who said what' from the screenshot. We do know that it took at least 5 minutes, and that they were fighting trash during those 5 minutes.

We only have what the OP thought was important for us to see, and no context of WHO was on the other side of the conversation, nor have we heard anything from the Tank or BLM's perspective. I do remember the healer chiming in way early in this thread.

Makes perfect sense for me to assume the worst. As presented, I read "rude" in the first three lines so thoughtfully provided.

I don't need to be a psychic to see the context set up by this thread and the chiming in white mage. The manner in which the question was asked was clearly dismissive assuming OP didn't like the BLM performance going by this thread title alone and the premise in the opening post. OP presenting the whole situation in a misleading manner doesn't help anyone. Although the tank was just outright rude, but there wasn't really any discussion about the tank in this thread, it's a dps witch-hunt all along.

Also, for some reason my previous post was deleted, what gives?

Doesn't take a psychic to recognize a loaded question xD.

Whether a question is loaded or not is a matter of perspective and if you would actually take offense to it to begin with (like pretty much any other thing ever)

Nope, a loaded question is a inquiry put forth with an unjustified presumption iirc, perspective is irrelevant, unless we account the perspective of the Inquirer. If we do cater to that logic, the OP can't distinguish between an uneducated player and a preprogrammed avatar, and was snide in his narrow minded view.

You do know bots are a real thing in this game, and there's a good chance that people who don't communicate in a dungeon from start to finish could very well be running a bot? Hell botting THM/BLM who do nothing but the standard 2.0 rotation are the most common type.

It is a legitimate question that I'd ask people in my groups on occasion, and not because they suck. Because I want to know if I'm playing with a human being, or if communication would be a wasted effort.

You, nor anyone else that isn't the OP can't possibly know if it was loaded, and intended to wound or not. Give it a rest. If the person in question chose to feel insulted by it, it's their perspective on it.

Are you saying you'd be offended if I asked you if you were a bot after 10 minutes of suspect behavior, and not even saying so much as a hello? If so, that would be your problem. That's not me being snide.

Yes, so many bots will drudge throught the msq to unlock heavensward so they can ice mage their way through Fractal #keepDreamin'

Maybe the person that doesn't talk to you on a dungeon just don't like you.
