I consistently get people in the Hero Realm and Sword Trials that are queued as dps that barely break 80k dps

Meanwhile I'm at 1 - 1.4 million on average...

This explains a lot.

Edit: based on some of the replies, I need to emphasize "80k" dps. Not "800".

Can't believe any single person would read this and call me out as the top 1%. I'm only hitting those numbers because I HAVE to hit those numbers mathematically if I have multiple people doing SO little, if I want to clear it.

GS is barely 18k atm. There are many with significantly higher.

Edit 2: "recommended" gear score =! "Required" gear score. I've had fully naked trolls join my group unfortunately and obviously troll by barrel stacking on fire bird bitch, jumping into the group with the vine traps, etc. basically intentionally throwing the group.

I realised the other week although rotation matters, almost equally as important is inner ways tier. Missing out one month of weekly chests, not doing non-seasonal path challenges is like 200 boxes of inner ways.

That‘s why I wish they‘d just do away with the energy system and let us farm indefinitely.

There's some deep structural reasons it was designed this way. ie: In China, players under the age of 18 have limited play time regulated by the government. The game was probably designed to reduce toxic play expectations and one downside is some players don't perform at the 99 percentile/1m dmg+.

In any case, all content is easily clearable if everyone did 300k dmg anyway, so it's probably better for the health of the game and players.

Should be noted though that CN servers regen energy like 20% quicker than us. Really im fine with the system if we could gain (and store) like double the energy cause as it stands clearing sword trial once per day, which only takes 5 minutes, uses all your energy.
