    As you can see, this is stuff that almost exclusively happens during highly organized group play. You don't just do this randomly in DF groups, or your healer will get very mad at you.
    I think you misunderstood what I was suggesting. I was suggesting that in DF content with a scoreboard, people are not more likely to decide that their DPS is more important than mechanics - as it's illogical. However, if they do, they're probably already bad players.

    Fair enough, I agree with that.
