Dam. meter

Just do what B&S does and put it in raid/extreme content only where it would be required simple as. I guess SE is just protecting their players from seeing the truth of how they perform.

Less features is a good thing? I shouldn't be too surprised, I guess. This is the same community that I have seen kick players for playing too well in a dungeon.

3rd party parser is capable of giving call outs already.
Call outs to mechanics, players skills like (Trick attack, Hypercharge, Warrior Pacification..)
It can even call out players names if they have a certain buff/debuff. I don't think you need more than that.

More like the community that likes to rely on their own skill rather than 3rd party tools.
Never used those kind of triggers beofre and it quite honestly simply disgusts me when people do. Yes, I find it disgusting.
If you're not capable of doing the content without assistance, then maybe it's not the content you should be doing.

The only 'tool' i would approve of is a 'damage meter', which i'm indifferent about whether there is an official built-in damage meter or not.
It would have upsides and allow people to see their performance in numbers, which would help a lot of people push themselves harder.
But at the same time you have to consider that there are people that just can't play as well, whether it be children, old people, people with disabilties or simply not as capable.
I feel like an ingame parser would make certain aspects of the game quite unpleasant for them, always having the game shove it into their face that they're not as good as others.

Training dummys and the battle log can tell you what you need to know.

DPSing a dummy is completely different than DPSing a boss especially now that most jobs have more important self buffs such as Enochian.

I don't really play DPS jobs and definitely don't raid with them, so I know it is difficult for me to relate to the numbers obsession. I still care about causing as much damage as possible when doing DPS of any kind, and I know that if I am well-geared and optimizing rotations, I am meeting my own DPS requirements for the instance. If I looked at parser results afterwards, it would only confirm what I already know.

It's not a "number obsession", if clearing content relies on you dealing appropriate DPS then you'll want to be able to track your group's performance. It also helps you fine tune your buffs and rotation to match the boss' mechanics and adds.

i want to see the savage/ex primals content are locked by stone sky sea dummys before you can even queue or enter it you have to beat the dummy test first!

even this dosent mean he could handle mechanics while dpsing.

I would rather not go back to the days of WoW where people spam the addon "recount" in chat to call out under performers or to flaunt their e-peen.

Beating the dummy should not be required. Average item level for A11S and A12S is il255. But people still downed them with il250 becuase some jobs can buff the overall raid dps A LOT.

we need a dps meter so bad its ridiculous that we dont have one guess thats the same reason why you cant talk in the feast

Don't need it, Don't want it. To Toxic.

No parsers please, I already got harassed by another player in sophia ex bird farm party, this WHM was looking at my moveset, calling out my dps numbers to everyone in the party. I was very embarrassed and very upset because I didn't ask for my numbers, Noone seemed to complain except that parser, even though I completed it fine. I would not like Noone to feel what I went though, parsing will be used for abuse.
