Problem I also noticed, compare to old alex and new, the old one didn't have as much mechanics vs the new ones. And many people struggle to follow mechanics while maintain their dps. How can they improve and know they doing well or not? Doing sky sea stone? Hell no. If the fight had no mechanics you be safe, but since it does.. good luck finding out. :P
And you just prove its social accepted to have 1 guy 500 dps behind the other. Of course, you are right, when you down it as a group and it's fine it still shouldn't be accepted hes way lower than he should be. If it was 100-150 ish behind then he could def improve since theres mostlikely something he/she missed out doing or wrong times of cooldowns, b4b, IR etc. However why would people and I KNOW for certain if many if they had access to parsers they would look at this guy and say, hey hes far behind on his dps. I know this is what anti parser people talk about, but keep in mind, why should 3 dps do 100% of their job while one does only 50%. This is group not some one gets carried. If you want to be carried buy a run from some one, because you are leeching of people and you honestly think it's fine to leech? I don't.
Another example let's say we talk about the same people but we are in raid 1 out of 4, so on raid 2 their dps requirement is higher, you know very well that person has to pull his weight even higher to manage to beat the content. And that's where the problems also comes in,just because you can do 1 requirement of the dps check in the lower tier floor, doesn't mean you can handle the next, let's say being higher in mechanics and dps wise.
But yes I agree as long it can be done why not, but keep in mind the higher tier fights, lets say next floor in raids the dps has to be higher obviously. If it can be done with lower dps why not? It works as you say, however when you raid you have to expect higher ceiling in fight. And if dps doesn't improve, well yeah K.O![]()
