DPS obsession in farm groups

[Iromi]

This entire thread is why I only play with my fc. >.> luckily we get stuff done!

Last time I used PF a lot I nearly quit due to all the bickering and nonsense that went on and on and on, and people leaving and joining, not communicating...I felt like I was babysitting except not getting paid. T.T

OP does eye-wateringly low dps. Not surprised some people object.

you're either a) basically afking, looking for people to just carry you thru the run. if you are, fair play, good luck, but prob best not to complain on the forums.
or b) genuinely trying, but not succeeding. and I guess it's easier to write a rant at those filthy elitists, than it is to actually maybe think they have a point and look at why your numbers are so low

Gotta farm fast so I can stand around Idlyshire with my thumb in my ass man.

Its a farm group... Why wouldn't you want it to be fast?

A clear is still a clear. If people don't die constantly I'm ok with that. Extra DPS is just a welcome bonus. There are some players who are obsessed with that and harassing others with their DPS meters. I suggest you should report any player who is harassing you with this and using bad language. It's against the ToS and is an offense GM's do not take lightly. I have no problem with lower than expected DPS as long it's not causing problems with the run (such as many deaths) but I have a serious problem when people calling names on others and harassing others thinking they are something important if the output some more DPS than others.

I do have a question. So Zurvan Extreme, 5 dps to skip Soar, Soar does not get skipped. Who's fault is it if it causes a wipe? The group for being unable to stay alive during Soar or the dps for not skipping it?

It's a genuine question. I know who I would consider at fault.

If you can't handle a mechanic, you're bad. If you can't do respectable DPS, you're bad. So, everyone.

Even though the very first hurdle is the skip? I mean that is the only reason to take 5 dps over 4.

I would just say blame rests with the damage output. I mean sure Soar isn't that difficult but it's something the group really shouldn't be dealing with in such a comp.

You failed to do the mechanic so the people who died and caused the wipe are at fault

Then why take 5 dps?
