Is there a reason we can't at least see our own DPS so we can get better as players?

I don't need a meter I just need a little number somewhere saying something like "This Encounter: 500.3" something like that. Customization would be nice but a "this encounter" followed by a real time showing of your current DPS for that encounter is all I would ask for. You dont need some sort of graphic overlay or anything crazy. I know mechanics > dps, but instead of that maybe just give a dps number on striking dummies. I would be happy with that so I can play with rotations and gear. I don't think its too much to ask.

That's. . .a meter. Like, "meter" literally means "measuring device." That's why you have gas meters, water meters, electric meters, odometers, pedometers, chronometers, thermometers, tachometers, barometers. . .

"I just want to know how fast I'm going!"

"So, you want a speedometer?"

"No, I don't need a measuring device, just the digits!"

That updates in realtime that shows an accurate reflection of my total DPS in a specific encounter. Learn to read English please. Sorry if its not your first language.

Haha. It's different. Meter implies graphical device of some kind. Observe:

So, something that measures your current DPS. . .like a meter.

well if its a dps digital meter, sure. That sounds more accurate. Glad we worked this out since the semantics of such words is such a huge element of this conversation. Really. Truly. Not sarcasm. Nope.
