DPS who do 4k worth of damage = garbage tier

[Crystal_Raven]

I'm straight out saying you can't fat shame people into going to the gym, or shame players into joining a Discord server. And this goes to everyone who unwittingly have misplaced their critiques here of DPS performance right in this thread. You don't have to call other players garbage tier but by critiquing "subpar" DPS performance here, you reinforce the message of subpar as garbage tier. Look, it may not be dick pic in a billboard advertising a car or insurance, but if it's shaped like one and perceived as one, it's just as inappropriate. Same with all the critiques here. This isn't the thread where you can be helpful without reinforcing a very negative message. That's just how it is.

And I wouldn't want any newbie or returner to read through this possibly anxiety inducing experience of a thread. There are good threads in this forum that are helpful, plenty of them, minus the pressure.

Being very good comes with pressure. The better you want to get, the more pressure you will have on you, it's almost impossible to have one without the other.

Those of us that can be relaxed while still performing well are rare, the majority of people, when it comes to improving there will be pressure. Even in this thread, reading through it, the people who have stated they are trying to improve have been given advice and positive reinforcement, while those insisting that poor performance should be rewarded were met with negative responses.

Subpar performance is referred to as "garbage tier" because of the savage content in the game. If you achieve 4k or lower on average in raids that are savage rated, then in essence, that is garbage. Rather crude word but it gets the point across very well. In non-savage raids 4k or less may be acceptable, but in savage, it is not and should never be accepted. That is obviously only with BiS gear.

If you would've actually read through the entire thread, you would've noticed quite a few positive comments related to people that want to improve. Clearly you did not see them, or chose to ignore them.
