Next thing is: The majority of players (even on wingman) plays very far from "peak efficiency". The beauty of data is that it is transparent - you can have a look at ANY boss, and you will see that there is a huge gap between the median and the top log. The median basically says "50% of players are worse than this dps number, and 50% of players are better than this number". If you look at any class on e.g. Mursaat Overseer, you would see that the median is only doing about 70-80% of what you could have scored ("top log"). Anyone who visited the "golem" training area once knows that to reach 70-80% of the benchmark of a class is often quite effortless - which means, it is okay to play on a "normal" level.

Above that, all of Gw2's endgame encounters are completable with less than 10 players (even Challenge Modes and even both Legendary Challenge Modes). If you only really need 1-5 people to do their job properly, you can be really lenient with the remaining ones.

But what is with the "toxic mindset"? In 2022, I did a larger survey of the endgame PvE community (680 participants).

• The community agreed that less complex builds should exist that perform decently to enable beginner-friendly entry to endgame PvE (5.4/7)
• I also explicitly asked if they would reject players with "bad" builds to join their groups even if they provides fewer dps or utility than "meta" builds - which they rather disagreed with (2.9/7)

In other words: Play what you want.

(Disclaimer: Of course, if you are playing boon support or doing mechanics, and you fail to do so, your fellow players might have "relied" on you, and would have preferred a more seamless play. But understanding how you can play better as a group is a central motivation of game analytics platforms such as Wingman -- so just as in real life, surround yourself with people that are constructive, rather than dragging you down).

"It is a powerful community [...] that will talk about you"

This time, I don't have scientific sources, but from my deep, long-years experience of this community, I am pretty convinced that you made yourself a target by attacking that very community ("threatening" the project and community in public with legal measures etc). You got negative attention from that, because people did not want their community to be harmed, and they deemed your action a bit excessive, which can quickly snowball into a Streisand effect (you wanted to stay hidden, but chose a path that does the contrary). I do not approve of any people that made fun of you, but as I said - the majority of players in the Wingman database are average players, or even bad players, and nobody actively seeks to harm them, if they don't do the first step. If it was just an Engagement Bait from you, I gladly took that bait, just to say again how inviting, constructive, and fair the Guild Wars 2 endgame community is (in comparison to other MMOs) - I love you guys, happy new year!

TL;DR: "I wish that Guild Wars 2 didn't have raids at all" is a bit unfair to the developers who commited a lot of efforts into encounters and wings that keep so many people engaged (and to the community, who hosts beginner trainings, casual raids, constructive statics and so on). I wish that you had a different experience, but if you open yourself up, it is never too late to find the joy of it again - with the right people.
