Kel's Corollaries

You probably already know that I (quite obviously) have played a lot of MMOs but you probably didn't know that I'm almost as infamous for sometimes saying things. What things?  Well, here's a sampling.

You're probably already familiar with this one:
"You can't please everyone all the time."

To this I add the following corollaries which I've found to be largely true:
"You can't please any single person all the time."
"You can't please all people at any one time."

Corollaries, postulates, and Axioms:
"If you're only going to choose one trick, DPS is a pretty good one."
"Dead mobs do zero DPS."
"Living through an encounter is a superpower for a DPSer."
"There are very few encounters that aren't solved by liberal application of overwhelming firepower."

Quotables:
"I can't {heal | DPS |tank} any faster! I'm mashing the button as fast as I can!"
"...it's not as much fun as it sounds." This is usually preceded with a description of a very messy death or wipe.
"There are no unskilled positions." (Wildstar)
"The actors may have changed but the roles remain the same."  True in business, too!
