DPS obsession in farm groups

[Kosmos992k]

2 things;

1) Welcome to the MOAR DPS raid meta that has infected the entire game. Please look forward to being told you're not efficient enough in sub 50 leveling dungeons, and people laughing if you are not as geared as they are and cannot achieve the same level of damage output as they can - or claim they can if others are not holding them back...
2) Calling people insulting and demeaning names on an official forum is a really foolish thing to do.

P.S. in case it's not clear, I despise the MOAR DPS meta outside of the raiding environment. I don't honestly care what goes on in the raiding environment or community, I am not a raider. But I really don't like the raiding MOAR DPS meta being foisted on non raiders.

That said, if this is a farm group, then I have to assume it's a pre-made or PF, you have to know going in that people want the run over as quickly as possible and will max out DPS for that reason. If you don't like that kind of play style, then as others have said, make your own PF and indicate that you are not min/maxing for DPS and are not trying to be as efficient as you can. Basically, you kind of know going into a farm group that the point is to run the content as many times as possible to farm the drops, that means speed, efficiency and of course maximum DPS.

Many regular posters here know that I am absolutely not a raider (or for that matter, farming EX Trials) and don't like the concept of parsers or an exclusive focus on DPS, but come on, if you are farming drops, you don't slow down to smell the roses - even I know that. If you are going to participate in a farm group, make sure that you set your expectations appropriately and be prepared to adjust to the group.
