I feel like people tend to be able to tell who's under-performing even without a DPS meter tbh. But if you can't tell, just join a different party? I've had a few bad runs with people, and while it's annoying, I just look for a different party to join and it works out fine.

I just want to make it clear I don't personally dislike parsers. It's just that Yoshi P doesn't want them for some of the reasons I've already stated. Why do you think SSS is implemented the way it is? It's in a random zone where you attack a dummy by yourself. It's such an isolated and round about way to track your DPS, and the reason for that is to prevent drama that would ensue if DPS meters were a thing.

The problem for me is SSS just isn't enough. It doesn't allow you to test your DPS under mechanic heavy situations.

If we switched our mentality from "I want to hold people accountable for their dps" or "I want to use a dps meter to find out who I need to replace in a party" to instead "I want to use a dps meter to improve myself", then maybe Yoshi P might reconsider at least giving us a personal DPS meter.
