Things to think about before you call someone "Bad"

[KaivaC]

To be extremely fair 5k anything is far beyond trash and you know it. Come back at me when you do 1.3k in there. Then you're trash mo.

Just calling it as I see it for myself. Almost two years in, and this is my best? Not a good look, y'know lol

Wow 5k is not trash in this tier. It's not amazing, but it's certainly not trash. Depending on the class, the gear, the fight, party make-up and whether it's with a pug group or not, it could be seen as fairly decent. You'd be doing similar or better dps than high percentile tanks. If you're able to do mechanics correctly on top of that...no you're not trash. Just unremarkable.

Come back when you do actual trash dps and try to tell us that "these so-called elitists" don't exist.

Don't worry, we'll wait :P



That is just one example of many as to why someone could get kicked. They might because they don't do mechanics properly. Also you don't always need a parser to see whenever someone does bad dps. If you're familiar with the class you can spot some signs such as missing buffs/dots/seeing animations for abilities that appear casted at the wrong time/etc. I seriously doubt anyone needs a parser to spot the dreaded ice blm or a bard who never uses songs.

To be fair, the ice black mage has been debunked because they are capable now of hitting 4.6k just by rotating between thunder casts and B3/B4. And my numbers are with my static - marking me as a definite weak link that I need to fix. Why is everybody jumping up in arms against my post - I was using myself as a prime example against the person I was responding to. I didn't say that these so-called elitists don't exist, but I am saying that they aren't in the overwhelming numbers that people like to say are everywhere, especially when they are sharing sentiments that the entire raid community is like this.

5,000k DPS.....is trash tier...?

When you are me, when you have been raiding since Deltascape and have been playing since 3.56...then yeah, I would assume that anybody with a right mind would consider that my absolute best at 5k on ninja would mark me as a trash player. Not saying everybody else pulling 5k is trash...but I can understand the sentiment that people say I'm a bad raider.

Why is it a problem that I'm labeling myself as such, even when talking about just myself?
