They can’t fulfill any of the 3 roles in vet, selecting dd give them the best chance to get carried.

They can't fulfill the role they agreed to fill. Quote often a result of people not wanting to build for damage because they simply don't feel like it, or because they have some single roleplay in mind. But, they still want something from group content. Mostly applies to vet, but I've seen a couple of people afk a lot, then spam volley when they did play. Volley doesn't do damage right away so spamming it is basically not different than doing nothing.

HOWEVER this rarely happens because if I am pugging a random vet I am GOING to bring an actual real dd to carry the damage
I don't think fake DD can exist, if damage is dealt they are a damage dealer. I am a heal/tank main but when i queue dps i have about 10k dps and i wouldn't kick anyone for being "fake DD" so long as they know the mechanics and the boss dies... Fake tank/healer is way more of an issue since it's actually people not doing their role.

Your claim: “doing any damage make them real dd”
Fact #1: all taunts in this game does damage
So if you believe tank need taunt, tank according to you is a subset of dd, thus a discriminatory distribution of responsibility
And if you don’t believe tanks need taunt, the “fake tank” posts really can use ur insights

should he have put significant damage for it to hit home, or do we just all underestand what he means ?
If they have weapons and a few skills slotted they are not fake. They may be bad but not fake.
i don't kick them as they don't exist.
i've never seen a tank or healer who queued as a damage dealer
This poll is biased, I don t believe that anything like a fake DD even exists

I agree. The only fakes are tanks and healers.
Mostly it's people who queue in a role they have no intention of filling to beat the DD longer queue times. There is a lot of overlap between speed runners and fakes. It's the me-before-thee attitude...
So fakes tanks and healers are queue in a fake role for a shorter queue what is the alleged "fake" DD trying to accomplish?
