DPS calculation for dungeons

no offence, but you are not representing SE to say whether we are allow to use DPS meters, especially it is already a third party application :/

Actually, SE has said themselves, several times, that they are not against the rules. In fact they plan to SUPPORT mods in the near future by providing people with the code they need to make mods and integrate them into the game directly.

So huh yeah, too bad?

I'm not trying to be a jerk here, just saying. SE has said and confirmed several times than using things like DPS meters or graphic enhancers isn't against the rules. They warn that using them could be dangerous for your installation and to be careful what content you put in there, but that's it.

So before saying they're against the rules and shouldn't be allowed, it is YOU who should do their research.

Just because it's a third party application does not make it against the rules. If it were used to cheat or gain unfair advantages, then yes. But all it does is let you review people's performances, which is a useful tool to have.

I don't condone using DPS meters to be elitists, but I also think that they're useful to spot people who aren't very good, and warn them they need to improve. Especially with how Titan and BC 1, 2 and 4 are pretty much all DPS checks, and if you have one DPS pulling 100DPS while your others are pulling 300DPS, something is wrong, and it needs to be addressed.

I actually support the idea of using mods like the DPS meter. There has been at least one or two games, where having certain mods helped amazingly with my progress on my class at the time. It's not to cheat or break the game, it's just a different mechanic for those who aren't fond or content with the mechanics already in the game. Much like how I dislike the tab system in this game. No I don't want to target an enemy far down the map! Having to move my camera to face directly at the ground most of the time, just to try to get a better chance in fast swapping my targets when in a dungeon.

DPS meters are allowed. As is Internet Explorer, as is Notepad.exe, as is Windows Clipboard. All are 3rd party applications; none provide an unfair advantage to the user.
