Going to break up your post to address each part clearly, this is in no way used to misrepresent your post, so I am sorry if I do. This is toxic.
It's incredibly condescending, using both tone, misspelling and misconstruing my words.
I am not sure what you mean by "to the point of segregation". However, what i am salty about is the protectionism that is put in place on people underperforming. It is more acceptable to go into a dungeon and auto attack and afk than it is to go in and try your hardest and ask the other person to try as well.1) You are clearly salty over some extra few minutes in a dungeon to the point of segregation.
2) You seem to think spending en extra few minutes in a dungeon is the worst thing ever
Point number 2 is hyperbolic. However, spending an extra 10-15 minutes in a 15 minute dungeon is not fun. Personally, I play the game for enjoyment. It feels much more like a chore that I am doing for other people when I am held back. Again, this is why I don't do roulettes any more (only when I desperately need tomes, which I don't).
I am sorry, called out on what? I also don't really get what you are talking about with perception being evidence, or what you are getting at with confirmation bias. Perhaps you can more clearly rephrase this paragraph, because I am at a complete loss of your point.Don't like being called out on it? Then don't do it, simple... Your "perception" is not evidence for the "community getting worse". There is something called confirmation bias... I remember when the vast majorty of peole had no idea what the hell they were doing (because the game was new) and now people are coming to join the party later than the rest of us you say they are a problem.
I am all for helping new players, and I am not sure where you get the impression that I am not? You're making a lot of negative assumptions about me, and it's fairly offensive tbh.It's a terrible way to act towards people looking to get into the game. You find these newbies so beneath you that you decided that you arn't going to waste your time playing with them anymore. Roulettes are for helping newbies progress and filling up their queues not to suit you.
"We" don't know, though. The worst experience I have ever seen with a DPS meter was in WoW and this was the conversation.At least you see segregation as a terrible idea though so cudos there. A parser sounds like it would be all well and good but we all know how much good dps meters do for mmo communites. Ridicule, hate, flaming, elitism etc all becomes the norm. Not something I'm willing to agree to for a small improvement on some dungeon runs.
Person A"DPS is too low guys, we're not going to be able to clear it."
Person B"Oh, what should my DPS be, how can I improve it?"
Person A"Wait, is this heroic?"
Us "No, this is normal"
Persona A "Crap, I registered for heroic. Oh well."
..proceeds to clear dungeon
That is the WORST I have ever seen a conversation with a DPS parser active. I've seen far worse conversations here from people who clearly are not parsing. The worst toxicity that I witness is in LFR in WoW and 24-person content in FFXIV. In both, people are generally jerks and it has nothing to do with the parser.
Now, even if a DPS parser brought elitism, I am not convinced that is a worse thing than the anti-elitism community we have here. Both are equally offensive to each other, but at least one results in better play.
