Why are low standards for dps acceptable?

[Lego3400]

And this kind of thinking is EXACTLY why Damage meters are against the TOS. All that matters is the boss dies and you have fun. Don't worry about anyone else.

... for the fear of being reported and banned because 3rd party program use, and antagonizing the player (even if you didn't mean to, people will report you to get you banned if you so much as sneeze in the general direction of their feelings to hurt them).

Yet WoW had damage meters for ~10 years, and that driven alot of people to not suck at their class because everyone will know, and they know they would be called out on it. That alone created drive to make people want to get better.

It also created a community of elitest pricks who require everyone to be overgeared before step foot into content suitable for their current iLevel. Wow's comunity is close to (if not actully) being outright toxic. Unless you have a core group of freinds or find one of the gems hiding in the trash, most people only care about numbers. We don't want that additude here.
