DPS display could easily be solved with a system already in game.

They should make a mechanic in alexander or a new primal where if a dps doesn't meet x personal dps over the duration of a debuff then they get oneshot by the next unavoidable mechanic. I would welcome that dps check to be fairly high as well. It could scale differently per class but it would give people something to see outside of a parser if they're doing bad personally. It might actually encourage better play if it's treated as a mechanic instead of a metric.

WoW actually has quite a few of these. Each member of the party gets put into their own phase and has to fight an enemy untargetable by anybody but themselves. If they fail to kill it in time, they get mind controlled, killed, or give the enemy a huge buff.

I would personally welcome it simply because of SE's current "official" stance on parsers. People don't want metrics and numbers and yadda yadda, put a mechanic that in alexander normal emphasizes that you need to at least know the dps rotation for your class. Then followup in savage with a serious check, any minor screwup leads to failure kinda thing.

There was. It was called Titan HM. People could barely DPS the heart in Darklight and AF2 (Hell, they barely did it even with a full stack of echo), how do we expect these same people to defeat a mechanic like that in 3.0?

All that will happen is they will complain and moan and it will get nerfed. Just like everything else in this game after the first week or two. Instead of meeting the problem head on, we apply bandaids that doesn't fix the overall problem.

Titan's heart affected the entire group, so 1 bad DPS and you could still bypass it, without knowing who the bad DPS player was (if there was any). He/she is suggesting a mechanic that applies to each individual, like 4 Titan hearts, 1 per DPS, where the only people that die when the timer is up, are those that didn't beat the DPS check on their own heart, that nobody else could target.

Titan HM was, like every other check in the game, a raidwide dps check. I'm talking about an individual check. Make it as lax as you want in normal alexander, just make it so you need to actually know how to play your job competently. Don't keep your basic buffs up? You're screwed.

Anyone who comes to publicly post about their issues should be responded to by people telling them how they can improve, resources, youtube videos, whatever they need. It's up to them to improve. Because without stuff like that we have people somehow in final coil doing 350 dps, groups hitting enrages or failing dps checks with all the gear and echo in the world. Echo was literally the strongest nerf they could've hit final coil with and people still can't perform well with it, there's a glaring problem that goes virtually unnoticed without parsers.

Something like this would be amazing as well
