DPS meters and why they're necessary

[Ehayte]

Precisely. It's so people can go "welp, we're going to fail this DPS check so I'm going to bail." Pros outweigh the cons huh? Can't wait for all PFs to be "X amount of DPS or your out!!!!!!" and people bailing on DFs.

Numbers do not equate to skill. Tested it on Titan Ex. He had higher DPS because he would manawall the landslides and fire extra spells. BUT, he often blew the timing and was out mid fight, where I wasn't.

- Well, if you are definitely going to fail a DPS then that person is doing you a favor by leaving so no one wastes their time...
- If he did that, his DPS would not be as high as yours... did you seriously not think that through? Also that is anecdotal evidence that has nothing to do with proving anything one way or the other. If someone does more DPS than you and preforms mechanics as well as you do, they are better. Same goes for me, and everyone else.

Parsers will lead to players getting kicked out of groups far more than to players being helped - even if said "help" is a simple "read a guide". Most people who want parsers do not want to help other players, they simply want a quick way to kick "underperformers" so they don't "waste time".

- How the hell could you possible know that? Are you omnipotent? Can you read the thoughts of 1,000,000+ people simultaneously? That. Is. Amazing.
- The same mechanics are in play for Tanks and Healers currently. Do you think that a group of 7 experienced and competent players that are online specifically to get a clear should let a WHM stay in their group that can't heal enough to keep up the tanks under normal circumstances? Then why would they allow a DPS that can't do enough damage to kill the boss in time for the DPS checks to stay in? Its really not fair.
