Thread: Pretending to dps in dungeons, is this a new fad?

This might be easy to get mistaken. I'm not talking about people who legitimately like up and afk in a dungeon for some reason. I'm also not talking about dps that might not be doing their best, trying their best, like maybe need more practice or even just like straight up don't care even. I am talking about dps that don't use any skills and only auto attack.

Granted, I don't run expert dungeons beyond capping esos for the week, so my sample size is probably just how ever many of those dungeons it would take to cap. However, since the newest content patch with the new dungeons, I went back to tanking them since I hadn't for a while and I'm seeing something I didn't see before. I see people dpsing by merely auto attacking and literally (i actually watch cause I'm a tank in a easy dungeon that is going very slow) they are not using any skills of any kind at all. Often, during boss fights, the boss will move a bit and they will just stand there and not even try to keep auto-attacking. They will just stand there in place, presumably waiting for the boss to come back to where they were.

Is this some new thing like when planking came out(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_%28fad%29) Cause no one told me, and now I feel old. In the last two weeks, nearly every dungeon I've tanked that I kept track of had one.

I should mention that I didn't say anything to these individuals, nor am I telling them how to live their life or whatever... But...what is happening... wut happen?
