I still can't understand why so many people are against a DPS meter, it's one of the best ways to improve towards endgame.
Afraid of the possibilites regarding player harassment? Make it so that you can turn it off, something in options like "Allow/Deny other players to see my DPS meter". Afraid that even then players can harass other players? ("why dont you show ur dps meter n00b"). Report them for player harassment.
If SE actively punish players for that it won't be a problem (or will be a very rare problem), but i guess that's more work for them. Or just release a damn addon API, like WoW has, allowing not only DPS meter in but countless other, useful, little things.

I've actually had parties ask me to switch from Paladin to Warrior in Thordan EX because of under-performing DPS. I've gone into Alexander floor 2 and out-damaged DPS players as a Scholar. I think many of our DPS players simply don't have any basis for comparison, so they think they're doing fine when the reality is that they're being carried through content by stronger players. I think that reality is going to be a slap in the face for many.Quote:
