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.

This is the worst take on eq leveling I've ever read.
Cmon, DSM, I know you like to argue points into oblivion but just step down man. Holy fucking cringe.
