So, can we just ban damage meters already.

Mentioning it
Mentioning that someone's damange is lower then someone
Pasting numbers


It's enough to get a GM's attention it.
Running a meter is tolerated as long as it's used for yourself only and not against someone ingame.

First, if possible, lock the log file so external programs can't read it.

Second, Provide in-game performance feedback so players will know how they're doing:

1. In group content, after you leave group, you get a report that gives your rank (4th, 5th, etc) relative to all the others. No number, just your damage or healing position.

2. When solo, give total damage for any encounter after you leave combat. If anyone else is nearby, with same level and a close item level, display their performance as well for comparision.

How can one improve if they don't know they need to?
