An Open Letter

To the Death Knight I met in LFR Last Night,

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your contributions to the success of our LFR raid last night. It was my first as my druid and you helped make it a memorable experience.

First and foremost, thank you for broadcasting Recount data at every opportunity. This saved me the trouble of looking down at the bottom right corner of my screen and while I occasionally had to take a moment to scroll up past your walls of text to read instance chat from others, take pleasure in knowing they had a much lower DPS than you did.

Secondly, thank you for taking the time to emphasize how much DPS you were doing both before and after broadcasting the damage meters. This saved valuable time of having to read through your walls of Recount text to get what really mattered: you were doing A Lot More Damage Per Second than most of us.

I also greatly appreciate you taking the time to notice my contribution to the team, although I feel as though taking your advice to "DROP PARTY, U FKING 80K DPS DRUID" would not have been productive to my overall goal to get better gear via LFR raiding. I will point out that although my per-second damage dealing was among the lowest of the DPS team, I did not fail a single combat mechanic and my only deaths were when we were forced to wipe after you and many others stood in fire repeatedly and were obliterated by attacks that could have been easily sidestepped with a modicum of situational awareness. Although I could point out that an extra 40k DPS isn't going to mean jack if most of the party is dead, it is obvious that the REAL problem and why the party wiped several times with seven or more minutes left on the boss' enrage timer was that I should have been using my mouse to execute a flawless balance druid DPS rotation instead of grinding it in my crotch screaming, "OMG! That DK'S DPS is SO HUGE! I want it in me RIGHT NOW!"

My only regret was that you eventually dropped party, as the next attempt was an unqualified success with no party deaths.

Because you cared so much about my gear, I wanted to let you know I didn't receive any from the raid, so I hope I get to see you again next week!

xoxo,

Sun
