Or is it a case of because I didn't mention a specific thing you said you somehow assume I'm okay with players doing single target dps in an aoe situation? I didn't want to test anyone's patience by listing out every single thing that can go wrong in group content. That would be a tremendously long list. I was hoping people had enough common sense to realise I meant more than just the very short list I wrote.

EDIT: you also do not need to play at your peak to play the game adequately in normal mode. Normal mode is not so challenging that anything less than everyone's best means something very wrong is happening. I know some players who are better than most even on their worst days. Do you think that when they don't play at their peak they can't tell the difference between when aoe is appropriate to use or not?
No one plays at their peak on normal content. People who defend inept performance usually just misrepresent what decent performance is.

No one is asking for 100% uptime strats on dungeon bosses. Just doing their rotations, using AoE when necessary, doing positionals, using combos and not just isolated moves, etc. So yes, players who play at "peak" performance continue to do it on normal content. They don't just derp out and start pressing buttons at random.

There's also no point in saying "well I think people shouldn't pretend they're doing Savage on a normal content", when no one was arguing that anyway and it just ends up muddying the waters.
