DPS obsession in farm groups

[CookieMonsta]

That reminds me I ran into someone who was very aggressively talking down on me for having lower dps than they did in a gubal hard mode lore farm.

Their dps was great! They had a 275 alex weapon! But oh my gosh it's a lore farm. He kept begging the party for compliments and then got all "i know my dps was better than a mediocre smn" and I just left at that point.

A big reason that I haven't been running savage is because attitudes like that wear me out. It seems like a lot of them are getting bored with a9s-a12s now and bleeding out into every mundane thing in ff xiv instead of just playing a different game for a while.

Did you AoE the adds appropriately? Everyone expects SMN to be top DPS when there are 3 or more adds because of Tri-disaster + Bane + Deathflare. Its nothing to do with the weapon, you can still parse highest with 240 gear. While I admit, that particular fool was a dick but it doesn't mean you shouldn't examine your own plays.

You're surprised people want to farm something fast?, more deeps means faster clears and fast clears mean more chance at getting a bird drop.

There are so many luddites on this thread we may as well not bother.
