I quit

[Yallaid]

To the tanks who want to go above and beyond, cool, but note that your dps is peanuts in the grand scheme of things. You'll end the encounter, maybe a couple of minutes faster. Big deal.

I can't help it -- I feel obligated to reply to this little snippet entirely on its own merits.

I don't understand why you're so dismissive of a Tank contributing to a 2ish minute faster clear time. That seems like a really significant effect for one player's efforts and I don't know why we would celebrate a change that removes that element from the game.

I can assure you, there is someone out there for whom that 2 minute faster clear is the holy grail, optimizing their performance towards that goal is their entire reason for playing and feeling motivated to play. In other words, it absolutely is a Big Deal to somebody out there, why do you dismiss their point of view so casually?
