It's because potatoes aren't only found in PvP. They don't need to get better and aren't forced to either, so they won't. It's a side effect of "play the way you want." You are allowed to use absolutely worthless combinations of gear and skills because they've given you all the options but no guidance with it. That, and power creep. Try comparing all non-set piece gear with 2 full sets of 5pc. The difference is night and day, but how should they know? I didn't when I started out. Throw CP on after that and you could kill 10 of them alone in cyro, and not just because they are new.
As I said, I didn't post to make the other two guys feel bad, actually they're very nice guys and we had a lot of fun playing together, and on the other hand i am not so good on my dps so it was a surprise that 74%.
You're all saying that cp difference is not the reason but ignorance is?
@wesmont65 you are bugged. Petition support to nerf you.

Haha, if I am bugged then what @fearturbo and @Gilliamtherogue are when they hit 35k -40k dps?

well yes, I also was an adventurer like you, then I got an arrow to the knee .
I was like potato until level 50, no idea about sets nor builds , then I got a talk with a guildie and he crafted me some sets and adviced stuff and I have done so and my stats doubled
So yesterday i was in Reaper's March and in zone chat a guy asked for help with an overland boss. Me and another guy showed up, we grouped up and went for it. After we've killed it, we continued on and went for all other bosses in the zone.
I've Combat Metrics installed to check my dps and after we've killed Queen of Three Mercies, the log showed that I've done 74% of damage to the boss and trash mobs. I know that one of the guys was cp74, magsorc and the other guy i don't remember his cp but he was fighting with 2h, so no tank. Now i am cp428, stamsorc with 5 hundings, 5 spriggans, i don't even have my monster set yet and i am not so good on my rotation and dps. On the training skeleton, my dps is at 20k at the moment.
So my question is: is Combat Metrics accurate enough? and if it is why i had 74% dps, is it because the 2 other guys were lower level or is it something else?
I go through delves all the time and watch other players. With Trash mobs I take out in a HA Skill with maybe another Skill rotation, I watch them get into protracted fights and use 5 to 8, or more, attacks to take down the same mob. Now, of course there are players who take out the mobs in 2 or 3 attacks like I do.
Bottom line, Delve and delve bosses in this game don't require more than 4 figures of DPS to prevail, so most players do not develop their characters beyond this much, no need to. When they do WB's, they do so with other players around, so again, no need to develop more DPS with them. Dolmens, same thing. Also, some people like protracted fights.
I prefer to take down mobs as quickly as I can, but I was never in a race to do so. It was not until I started doing Vet Dungeons that I really took a look at what I was doing and took steps to improve it. Most of the steps were just using a different rotation or a simple gear change. The difference for most people between 6/7K DPS and 15 to 18K DPS is not all that much.
I find it humorous that so many players assume full DPS builds are the only way people play... The thought never occurs to them that some people casually play tanks, healers or even more flexible builds that let them solo group content with ease.
I suppose that much of the game is designed around DPS races doesn't help with encouraging diversity.
