Literally everything you say is wrong. I have more experience playing EQ than you do. You are currently showing yourself to be incapable of reading, incapable of basic math, and incapable of understanding game mechanics, between your hilariously ignorant take on DPS and the speed of leveling, and your asinine assertions about how people play the game.
Again, playing the game as you propose, you'll be sitting around at Level 15 and getting no good items on a new server, while other people are twice your level and holding down the best camps. And that same pattern will constantly repeat itself, since this game as a whole is very much about about farming. Need to grind in Kael to get faction? It's gonna take you 2x as long to get the necessary amount, only playing the game as you state. If you want to waste your own time in life, that's your decision. It has no bearing on the power level of classes.

You are showng your lack of understanding yet again.
Lets do a simple math exercise. Lets say you have a group that does 2000 damage per minute. They are killing mobs with 1000 HP. If it takes them 2 minutes per pull, they are killing one mob per two minutes.
Another group does 1000 damage per minute, but they can pull every one minute. That group is killing 1 mob per minute. Even though this group has half the DPS, they are getting double the kills per hour.
This is why raw DPS often doesn't matter. You are basically making the assumption that every group is working perfectly, which is rarely the case in real life application.
Some groups have high DPS and bad pullers, some groups have low DPS but good pullers. Some groups have both. You are projecting your fantasy that most people play with perfect groups all the time. Its a silly fantasy.
And obviously things get more complex when you account for how good your CCer is, how good your healer is, how much damage your tank can soak and taunt, etc. All of these factors change how quickly a group can kill content, even if their DPS on paper is high or low.
You have an oversimplified view that more DPS always equates to more kills per hour. That just isn't true.
