You people are spinning everything and choosing not to hear. DPS meters and Parses are excellent tools, that when used properly, can improve you personally and help you figure out what went wrong and or right in a group/raid. It is data, the more of it you have the better it gets. Yes an individual parse or meter can produce some bad data, but over time when you collect enough it is highly helpful in hands of someone who knows how to analyze it. I enjoy analyzing data. I have a hard time understanding people who do not want to improve or do not care about their performance when they part of a team assembled for the sole purpose of competing content. When you do these things alone, go willy nilly, who cares.

I come from a heavy team sports background. My desire to improve and perform at the highest level I am capable of comes from a place of not wanting to let my teammates down. I really do not care for personal glory, I want us win sure, but the thing that's drives me, and always has, is not letting others down. I feel like that the people many of you insult calling them elite feel the same as I do. People like us have a VERY hard time understanding people who don't care about their own performance that sign up as part of a team to accomplish a common goal.

As a matter of fact, other not showing up, the worst thing you can do to your teammates is to show up unprepared. The best teams I have been a part of loved each other so much that the thought of letting them down was too much to bear it made you want to be the very best you could be. That's the crux of it for us, we study, research and try to do our very best BECAUSE WE DON"T WANT TO LET YOU DOWN. When you come off with an attitude of, I don't care, it's DF, deal with it, can you really be shocked that people that feel as we do get upset with you? Are you really that obtuse?
