    If you guys don't take constant action towards those who are bad by default and are unwilling to improve, then they'll never learn. Until now the community just 'meh'-d over it all and probably have caused this exact meter debate in the first place.
    We don't want to get bogged down in arguments during dungeons and raids, instead the wish for a meter derives for clear cut evidence of significant underperformers we wish ourselves to get rid of.

    When they are unwilling to heed advice, strive for self-improvedment or even check for guides on these forums/reddit/dedicated websites, then they have no place in progression oriented duties.

    Only thing we can do is advice them, but if they wont listen then its either kick them out or ignore and continue. You can not force them to change, if they they do not care. A damage meter will show the underpreformers, but how much harm will it do the community, compared the good that it can do. Past experience has shown me that they bring more harm then good. SE too think this is the case, which is why we do not have official addon support or a damage meter in the game.

    If you are looking for underpreformers, you can always use the parsers that people are already using and advice the underpreformer, if they wont listen, kick them out or ignore them.

    Oh, I do use my own judgement about this all whom I throw out or not, don't worry about that. However, this stance of player expectation only goes far until the next group, where possibly the tank/dps/healer with a thousand-yard stare and doing their 500'th random roulette will not care about this all as long the dungeon gets done, either in 20 or 60 minutes.

    And you guys need to chill out on the 'I will be kicked on a whim because of my DPS' negativity - As long you can play your job right and within the expectations of how SE thinks you should play it, nearly everyone will not give you crap about that.

    For everything else, you drop a ticket and customer support will deal with it as they do now. Harassment, in any kind of way, is no laughing matter and if you don't bother even filing a report about that issue, nothing and no one will change.
