The simple fact is, the game relies almost exclusively on dps for encounters, and there is no way for a player or group to have a metric of their dps. Do you not think thats even a little strange sounding?
If only this behaviour wasn't also directed against people still levelling and learning the game, I'd agree with you completely.

I've never said I'm against parsers, but it does worry me a little that it might put more focus on competing against your team members instead of cooperating with them to take down the boss in front of you. Especially since I'm a bit leery when it comes to new features in FFXIV... *coughhuntscough*

(I'm also not that happy about this increased focus on DPS checks... I'd much prefer difficulty to be raised through mechanics than through sheer DPS.)
