Sadly, I don't think you can change the mentality. I started in February, and from what I saw in Heavensward, people expected you to be amazing.

However, over the course of Heavensward the community mindset has shifted from "Expect the minimum, commend to exceptional" to "Expect the exceptional, chastise the minimum". Back in 2.X the DRG in your party would have been happy enough to clear without commenting on your DPS.
