Measurements for DPS contributions (Please SE...)

[Odett]

Being a good dps is not a life skill, it should not be expected but be appreciated if it happens.
The best way to deal with it is not know other peoples dps at all.

I really disagree with that. Doing DPS is your JOB. You wouldn't say that about tanks, because a tank that fails to grab an ad makes it so healers die and just snowball into the raid wiping,and a tank that cannot use defensive cooldowns effectively will be tasting the ground quite often, and the same thing with healers not healing efficiently, but you see threads about DPS being excused from their jobs time and time again. Rolling as DPS does not give you a free ride.You're not there to smell the flowers, and failing to do your job makes it that much harder for your team to win. When you have DPS races and everyone is pulling their weight minus one person, it would be nice to know. If that person realizes this and acknowledges that they could be doing better and tries to improve, that's great, but someone with an "I don't care" mentality has no part in the content you're doing, because they're setting the entire group back.
