What? That's not high standards; that's a bizarre personal quirk. I have never been at a table where damage is rolled at the same time as the attack, even when among people who've been playing since the '80s and can quote entire sections of various PHBs from memory.

If you're going around expecting people to do something that's both outside of the normal realm of play and is contrary to RAW, then yeah, you're gonna be disappointed.

Really? It's standard in organized/convention play. At least all the cons I've gone to! (Which is like 3.) When you absolutely have to fit a game into the allotted time frame you get efficient.

I have a little spiel when I play with someone new, like, "If you know what you're going to do you can set all your dice up to remind you. And if you roll them all at once you have all the information at hand!"

But I'm typically dealing with pals who aren't tracking the advancement of the game in between their turns and spend two minutes each getting caught up to speed ("So this guy has a bow? I stab him. Oh he's on the roof? Oh yeah ok, um, I climb up and stab him. Uh that's 75 ft of movement? Ok I move 30 and shoot him with my bow. That's D20 plus dex right? And what's my proficiency mod? Has it gone up yet? No? Ok. Does 13 hit? Cool so 9 damage. Wait, sorry I rolled a d10 let me just find a d6 real in here.")

This is why I prefer to GM. Then I can set expectations and also stay occupied.

I’ve been playing since the 80s and yes, we play exactly this way. Roll all your dice at once, be ready when it’s your turn. Be able to say what your attack roll is, what your damage is, etc.
