But aren’t those explanations highly subjective? Do we have any data to support that one makes players more uncomfortable than the other? And if the point is to say it’s not okay to make players uncomfortable at all, then shouldn’t we approach the topic with a no tolerance policy? Not using AoEs can cause other players to unintentionally take aggro, particularly the healer who will generate aggro from all enemies by healing.

Whether or not behavior is seen as toxic should be based on intent. Is someone who pulls adds as a DPS intentionally trying to antagonize the other players, or are they just trying to help? How can you know for certain at any given moment? You can’t, so should we always assume the worst intentions or the best intentions? In either case, if the consensus is to treat misplay as worth addressing, then it should be done equally.
