Acceptable damage meaning pulling numbers close to the sim DPS. Then I'd try it out in heroics and then from there go to m+ if it's acceptable.

    Im skeptical about how many people will care to push just for ilvl once they get KSM which is still only 15s, no?

    I could be wrong, but I am doubtful for how many will push that high just for the gear, and would rather just call it.

    I'm confused by what you're trying to argue.

    I can't say I encounter that many players who are genuinely terrible with to kill a key or make it not worth doing anymore.

    English is not my first language so my apologies if words don't have the exact same meaning as I think they have, but is there such things as a "unintentional throwing" ? Like, sorry that you have to learn it that way, but some people are just bad at the game, they don't purposefully do small dps. And they will forever stay bad at the game if people like you keep putting more and more blame on them being leaving them in their mistakes. Again, you too sounds like a League of Legends player, and that's definitely not a compliment.

    And you think that every player know the game enough to have such instinct ?

    Also do you think that every player can improve that way ? There is a couple a old people in my guild that sure couldn't.

    They shouldn't be in m+ if they're going to do less dps than a healer.

    Ok, i'll humour you, if you've never stepped foot in M+ and don't know what a damage meter is. Fine you wouldn't know if you're doing good or bad.

    I highly doubt that ANY player that interacts with the M+ system does not have some form of damage meter. Therefor, you can very clearly see your DPS ranking vs other people in the group and how you hold up against them. I'm not saying they are doing bad dps on purpose, I'm saying they KNOW they are doing bad dps : They are throwing.

    As for the LoL player comparison. I honestly don't care what you think of me.

    And how do you want them to increase their dps if they don't have the reflex to go check their rotation and sim and can't go to m+ to meet people actually knowing it ?

    First I can present you a few people I know who don't use any dps meter, and still m+.

    Second does it means that if you just know that you are behind in terms of dps but would like to improve you are throwing ? Is this your definition of throwing ?

    Yup, that's the kind of behavior I would except from you after a few of your messages

    I'm not going to sit around and coach every single player I encounter in the game that's pulling shit DPS. It's not tenable. It's beyond ridiculous to expect that others help the people that are pulling shit dps.

No - that would be dumb af. Basically a definition of sunk cost fallacy.
    Just add a confirmation about the key, like a ready check, before locking people in.

    You're reaching for straws ...

    1 - I don't believe you but it doesn't matter.

    2 - There's being behind other dps, and there's being behind the tank while also having obscene ilvl for the key level. There's nothing wrong with being behind a tank if he clears Tree room in AA in one pull. But You'd expect a DPS player to be in front of the tank on pure ST fights. My definition of throwing is being the most geared player in a key and yet managing to be dead last DPS (behind tank). This isn't some hypothetical, I've seen it, multiple times.

    Well, maybe you just don't have the strengh and patience to teach others. That's unfortunate, but I guess there is also be people like you ruining the experience of other people.

    Do you want to plan a discord reunion so that I can prove it ?

    You don't have to justify yourself mate, you can have the definition you want, I just wanted to clarify it so we are speaking about the same thing. So, I think I got your point, what I'm not understanding however is why you don't want these people to improve ?

    Do you realize how many people there are that are pulling shit dps? It's simply not tenable to coach someone doing shit dps until they can do acceptable dps. It requires hours, if not days to fix everything they're doing wrong and that's if they are willing to learn, which most people that kind of DPS are not.

    Would you say that, in the average key, there is more people pulling shit dps than people not pulling shit dps ?

    I mean sure why not, but i'd like to know what their io is and their average key lvl is (previous seasons also work i don't mind).

    I don't remember saying I didn't want them to improve. The convo has been going on for a while now and I kinda lost track. You can quote where I said or implied it though.

    Oh not a lot that's for sure, +5 at most. Don't know about their rio, I don't even use it myself.

    Didn't you said that you didn't mind quitting keys, leaving the other guys just full of shame without trying to help them ? Maybe I'm mixing with someone else, my apology if that's the case.

    Why? Bad group makers should be punished. If it's obvious that they key won't be done before you even start then a player has an obligation to the community to lower that key.
    why would they INTENTIONALY drop some1s key by leaving when the key goes i?

    Still no. You made the group and if you didn't vet people enough or set expectations, nobody should be forced to do anything. Solo shuffle is different because it's random queue placement designed by Blizzard.

    The only thing that should actively be done is just letting a key that isn't finished stay at the exact same level. That's a big part of the frustration. If your 17 vaults (or whatever) is bricked because somebody left on the second boss, there's no reason it should auto deplete to a 16. If you finish the run, sure. But it should lower the key upon FAILURE to time the key when finishing it, or on your own accord because you just want to run it at a lower level.
