    It is really rare for everyone to do the mechanics well yet still fail the dps check when the game is so generous on its DPS requirements since there is quite a big gap between best performance and performance required to clear, even though certain tryhards expect 90 parses for content that requires 40 but that is also done because if you pretend the requirements is that high your achievement must be that high too right? This is completely a psychological problem with people whose self esteem depends on video games.
    The whole reason "Skip Soar or disband" became a meme is basically it was laughably easy to skip. It literally required a basic opener because Zurvan does nothing. There aren't any mechanics to worry about by that point in the fight. If you understood the basic functions of your job, you'd skip Soar. Therefore, groups unable to skip weren't able to perform at that minimal a level. It isn't elitism to expect reasonable levels of damage in harder content. And no, barely meeting enrage isn't "reasonable" unless its the first week or learning party that only just reached said enrage.

    You keep citing "tryhards" and "elitists" yet seemingly disregard players like a BLM dealing 15k in E11S. But it's okay because the group can still clear, right? Even if upwards seven other players have to perform at a higher level simply to compensate for someone who doesn't know what they're doing. That is what frustrates players. People rarely expect top tier numbers in pugs unless its a parse run. They do, however, hope for decent numbers like I mentioned above. Not only because it leads to faster kills but also potentially removes added risk.
