"Elitism" vs "Casualism"

[Vahlnir]

I'm surprised this has not been mentioned or touched on at all but this sentence alone proves that you have different expectations based solely on someone's role in the group.

What they don't seem to realize either is that, regardless of whether someone else's performance affects them directly or not, it still affects them. This is especially the case when its their fellow dps. See that enrage timer or dps check? Gotta meet that or it's a wipe. Are your other dps down? Guess what? That stack marker that was just placed on you is the equivalent of a Doom debuff if the healers and tanks can't save you by rushing to your aid, if they rush at all. But what matters is that you were able to perform your own rotations and mechanics right, right? Wrong. In a team setting, everyone must work together. Everyone's performance affects their party even in the smallest of ways. That is a fact that they don't seem all that willing to accept. I've seen some pretty crazy downward spirals caused by the death of a single dps.
