i wrote a long letter (split into 4 parts because wow’s mail system can’t handle long letters) to some stranger that got grouped together with me (using the lfd tools)

hi it’s me, the ‘failed’ pally.
i was about to let your superior attitude slide but then i checked your armory and realised that your gear is higher than mine (mine is mostly 232s-200s, with quite a few of 200 blues, while you have 245s, 251s and even 264! wow), so your gears translated into much higher dps than mine, no suprise.
as i explained earlier, i know there’s a flaw in my build as it was built few patches ago when seal of command’s judgement worked differently.

i was planning to overhaul my current paladin built anyway, but i don’t really need other people to tell me what to do. i believe as long as i contribute properly to the party’s damage output and not gimping them i should be allowed to play the character the way i wanted to.
now, you claimed that damage done doesn’t matter, only the dps count does.
does that mean you only participate in a battle every now and then, ‘maintain’ your high dps, and not actually doing ‘dps work’ all the time?

if your dps is twice as high as mine, then by logic, your damage done should be twice as high as well, plus minus few minor adjustments. but the actual data said that i’m doing ‘more’ damage than you. how could this be? it’s either the data is lying, which i doubt, or you doing what you called “looking out for others” (else known as “being a busybody”), checking other people’s talent built and tell them what’s wrong with it to make yourself feel a bit better, while not, again, doing your dps.

i understand your kind intention of ‘looking out for others’, but it’s highly unnecessary for me. thanks anyway.
have a look at a webcomic called wondermark dated 20th july 2010, number 640.
it illustrates my point exactly.

have a nice day.
