Why is everyone so touchy about their dps when they're told to step it up? Almost every single other mainstream MMO has some form of in game metric for dps aside from 'can i clear xyz.' Healers and tanks don't get a free pass, why do dps? Most dps complain too when a tank or healer makes one slip up, but 2/4 dps can drag 8 people down and suddenly you're a 'toxic' player for pointing it out.

I really, really, really wish parsing was a native function and we didn't have to use 3rd party stuff. I love ACT but I honestly believe this community could use a good wake up.

Anyway to avoid complain thread: ITT discuss times dps stood out to you!

You have a lot of right in yourself... And I FULLY BLOODY (Reference?) Support you, but... Alas, somehow in this community if you say a DPS that his damage is HALF the damage you do with your tank having less gear than them... You are some kind of criminal that should get banned.

You are literally not allowed to whine about it, nor say you use a 3rd party program, you are defenseless and your unique option is to deal with it, even if the one in your party is probably just doing auto-attacks and random things afking while you do the carry for his roulette.
