Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

but I do friend, just take a look at my lodestone

Clearly my point went way over your head. I was quoting you word for word.

The golden rule is: don't be a dick.

Whatever that BLM did doesn't matter because you broke that rule.

I don't remember asking the tank to tell me to shut up, I did not direct that quote towards the blackmage, I do not react hostility by apologizing, especially when I was not even in the wrong or being hostile to the blackmage (aside from the bot comment, which could easily be determined as hostile and I would accept that I was hostile)

The blackmage comment was a direct attack on that persons credibility, albeit in a hostile manner. By saying that he did not have blackmage to 60 and that I did, I was saying that I was more likely to have experience with the class and know its inner workings and basic rotation

In my opinion if you want to tell a dps to do something you should be nice about it.

Though if you were nice to them and they told you to shut up I wouldn't blame you being annoyed.

But yeah, people have different standards when it comes to gameplay. Some will just wing it, and some will take the effort to try to understand all their skills and which situations they're practical in and how to combo them.

But it's not like they're in endgame content. (Yes it's level 60 but it's not like they're going into Alexander Savage with that level of understanding of their class.)

Maybe if healers and tanks would stop whining in party chat and actually do their job, you might finish a dungeon every now and then.

I'll remember this next time I see a DPS doing nothing but auto attack and eating AOEs.

Are they constantly whining at you for you to say this?

Do you see this a lot?


It could have something to do with you having roughly i190 but still using a i160 weapon.

In game parsers can be a good thing...

reported for using the word parser, its my sub I pay to play how I want #toxicelitists

Bad players exist in every roll. Just easier to hide as a bad dps than it is a bad healer/tank. It's sadly the game we play. Not even gonna touch the parser debate considering people feel a small group who almost 99% already abuse them would abuse in game parsers seems to be an ok reason not to have ones.

If you don't know your class come level 60 dungeons then you are literally a hindrance to the group. If you are fine with doing that to people thats fair enough, I however feel it would be unfair to others if I didn't know how to play my job in a dungeon. You'll get called an elitist and toxic, but in the end I personally feel not knowing what the hell you are doing and expecting people to be ok with it is far more toxic and entitled attitude.

I get people may not be as good as some at the game. I get that people may have reasons to not be good at the game. When one of those reasons are, " I could pop enochian but I'd rather I didn't because I'm lazy" then to be honest I don't think you should be allowed to play the game at all. Also I don't get the whole "Some people take the game too serious" or the excuse that casual players just play for fun. Well it isn't fun when you get stuck with someone who just wants to do 400 DPS at i200 because they have no idea how to play. Thats DPS that was ARR numbers.
