I'm not, but you should actually write argumentation and examples, otherwise you're saying nothing.

It's really simple, and I've already said it twice. If DPS was king, you would see gear checks to get into groups. Anybody with noob gear would never be able to get an XP group, because their DPS would be too low. I have never seen a gear check on P99 for any group. The only requirements for gear typically come from raiding guilds, for resistances and clickies, not DPS gear.

The honest truth is the vast majority of content in P99 doesn't have a lot of HP. Just having group members generally makes your group a charnel house.

DPS matters more in raids, but that is because mobs have a TON of HP, and the stakes are higher because you could lose the mob to an opposing guild. But we are not talking about raiding, since everybody knows Mages are useful in raids. We are talking about the rest of the game.

Unless you are a hardcore raider, most of your time spent in game is going to be solo/group content, where DPS doesn't really matter that much.
