Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

Last I checked, Dpsing of any kind mean your dpsing.

Well lets try to explain why people don't like those that use all their abilities.

Your job as a DPS isn't to do "DPSing any amount is fine" as you put it. Your job is to do as much DPS as you know you can do. AKA you try to do the most you can do.

No one is asking for savage level of DPS numbers but for someone to go into a dungeon and just do whatever because "they don't feel like using a skill" then thats just rude to the other people.

Again If im on scholar and my fairy can solo heal something, should I just stand around? after all Healing is my 'job' so as long as no one is dying by your description i can just afk and follow the tank while doing other stuff.

Also PS. There is a difference between trying to do as much as you can and just not bothering. Trying and not getting it right is fine, cause theres at least effort there. Not trying at all is not fair on the other people at all and you should be removed from the duty IMO.

And if you don't know how to do 'X' well, or think it is only situational, or you found that you were more consistent in a non-team environment doing something other than 'X', why would it be ok for someone to insult you when you don't meet their expectations of "the most you can do"?

If I see a green-leaf CNJ out there using the knock-back skill in Sastasha, I don't say "learn to play". I say "don't use that knock-back in dungeons, it moves the target out of reach of DPS and the tank". Once. I don't expect an answer.

If I see a new BLM in Fractal Continuum, with ilevel 145 gear, I do not expect them to perform as well as a level 60 BLM in Alexander gear. If they're not using an optimal rotation, I don't insult them before I offer advice.

Attitude tells all, even when expecting folks to do their best.

Where did I say it was ok to insult someone? If you notice someone isn't trying you ask them to try and give information. If they reply negatively ie "my sub I do what I want" or continue not even bothering then you just kick them. No insulting needed.

Also using the OPs photo as an example. How the hell is not even bothering to pop enochian "doing their best"?

Again, Trying and not doing as well as others is fine. Refusing to use skills because you don't want to even bother learning a new rotation is not and never will be despite how others may try to defend it.
