    ^ Please learn how to form paragraphs and use proper sentence structure without constant run-on sentences. I couldn't even grasp what you were saying because of your block of text.

    People will also be more willing to communicate with you if they can understand you.

    Funny, because you're literally one of maybe ten people I've ever had complain about it in my 10 years of forum experience, while others can understand my paragraphs with little issue. Perhaps you just need a tutor to teach you how to read something that is over a couple of sentences long. Grammatically speaking, while my sentences aren't considered "proper" for use in formal writing, in that I don't break them up into multiple sentences for every little thing, they're also not considered grammatically incorrect for an informal setting, as I use proper punctuation and phrasing. The only thing that is truly considered a problem is my use of a series of dots at the end of my paragraphs, which is simply a typing signature of mine I've been using since I first started on forums, and it harms nothing other than the feelings of those who believe an informal setting such as internet forums should use the wording and writing styles of an English professor, even when many other posts fail to use so much as proper capitalization or the spell check that is built in to just about everything these days......

    Sorry, do I need to use smaller words and sentences for you?

    Add another person to the complaint list. And the issue isn't reading comprehension, it's eye movement. I have a hard time reading your post because my eye loses its position in that wall which necessitates multiple readings and can be a pain. Note how Adventica is getting likes on her post. Also, no need to be smug about it.

    Also the issue with balancing based on "normal" content is because there is no real risk to them. They are face-roll; they are neigh impossible to fail. If people complain about slow runs then well they can apologize and suck it up, get kicked, or leave and suffer the 30 minute penalty. Balance is based on raid content (I'm going to include extreme primals) as it is the only thing that is an actual challenge and where balance would play a part while forming parties.

    Honestly, people already deal subpar dps as it is, and by this point people are probably used to it. Besides, it isn't like they can really accuse your dps of being low without admitting to the use of parsers, which you can report then for. Sure they can say things like calculating it by head using the battle log, but that opens them up to so many counter arguments.
