These stereotypes stop the moment you enter a raid (a serious raid, not CT) or static. DPS that raid are generally more mindful about self improvement, playing to their best, considering how their performance impacts the group, and so on.

Unfortunately, there are always going to be those that sit in the Cloud of Darkness arena with a weapon sheathed or only auto attacking. Or those that use non DPS accessories, or basically don't care about others in their group. It's not really something that can be fixed wide scale. Just be the best DPS you can be-- not just in terms of output, but in helping out with mechanics, using those utility abilities, and so on. The stereotype sucks but you will earn respect by being competent yourself.
