DPS obsession in farm groups

[OpheliaHeartilly]

I would argue that this depends on what the OP puts in their PF comment (which we haven't seen, by the by).

I see your point. I liked your post. I don't agree with it entirely-- but you made me think. True-- we don't know what the OP put in their "farm party PF". I just see more of the blame on the person joining and imposing their high dps meta even though the group is clearing just fine-- no issues other than it may take a minute longer. Pretty obvious how that player is obtaining their dps data (unless they are legitimately just commenting on overall dps based on mechanics seen). People of all ages and skill types play this game for a variety of reasons. I think I'd be irritated too if I had a competent farm group running and someone rants about dps being low (even though our clears are consistent and clean). But as I said-- I see your side too and I see how blame could be shared. On a side note-- I find it funny when ppl complain about encounters/raids being too easy but they are usually the first ones to try to find exploits or ways skip/cheese mechanics somehow to make another encounter easier.
