Getting abuse for DPS as a fairly new player - normal?

How are you finding old 2017 topics lmao?

I think unintentional thread necromancy (as opposed to deliberate thread necromancy, which is definitely a thing) is probably via forum search, or Google search returning results in the forums. Search engines are not... great at biasing recent topics as higher-weighted results, sometimes.

(This is why I'll often post longer answers to something in a thread, even if sometimes the answer might seem overly detailed; it's in case someone ends up there three years later. Threads never truly die, they just lurk in search results waiting to spring on unsuspecting posters.)
