What's the point of being elite at your job?

[Bishop81]

On a side note, maybe you should ease up a little with the "me me me" thinking.

The game isn't just about you.

The game is about us. It's about people playing together to have fun.

DPS meters were one of the worse things to have entered the MMO genre. Over time it became less about "Are we beating the boss?" and more about "Am I beating other raid members in the DPS meters?".

Not everything has to be a "race" you know.

Snip.

I disagree with this sentiment. DPS meters are great. It shows who needs help with their rotation so a group actually can tell why they didn't meet a DPS check.

Personally I like to compete with others and it improves my DPS if I can see how I'm doing compared to others. Plus an official DPS meter would cut down the complaining about a certain class not parsing properly and looking like a terrible class to play.

Depends on whether SE wants to create such a game. Where player that are cooperating end up competing anyway - bring along with it rivalries and all the baggage. Where the forums overflow with QQ because Job A's DPS is a tiny bit lower than Job B's DPS on a very specific fight.

I mean with even 3rd party parsers the issue we are seeing is the elitist kicking players out because they don't have high enough ilvl to their standard and won't do the damage or think they won't do they damage they want them to do or kicking out jobs entirely for certain fights. Even if it's the case a certain job does poorly in a certain fight you can't make judgement on every player just because of the job/character they play in a game. And not many people are actually being HELPFUL in that manner "oh we think you might be doin something wrong whats your rotation?" since you can't just say we are parsing (against ToS and all).


Also back on topic I mean I don't see why anyone SHOULD be rewarded other than knowledge they have certain fights down pat and can farm it while many others struggle to even figure it out. Reading/watching something only does so much it's experience that makes the difference and some people will never change out of their ways. Just my point of view.

To be fair, the being kicked due to ilvl is more something the "normal" players do. Many of those who parse realise skill matters far more than ilvl.

There is nothing wrong with DPS meters.

The problem is people like the OP, because of people like this SE believe we as a community are not mature enough for an Official DPS meter. After reading this thread, I guess they do have a point.

Wanting personal reward for performing well is a bad thing? I don't care how good or bad your dps is, I care how good or bad my dps is.

Maybe the issue is players like you who attack people they know nothing about.

On FFXIV Reddit you made the same post and replied to someone by saying this:

i'm elite because my dps shits on yours

Now your saying:

lol...

Myself and anyone reading this thread/Reddit can see quite enough about your views to give our opinion.
