Thank you Yoshi for your stance on DPS meters

There wouldn’t be a thing called Dunning-Kruger effect if it is true. People tend to overestimate their abilities or in some cases, underestimate it. And when there are min maxing, it’s harder to tell how well you do in your role in comparison to others.

I wonder how you perfect your playstyle in Offline Games like Final Fantasy 12 or else without a programmatic parser??... jeess..

All i say is: people, play the game and not the numbers.

I am playing MMORPGs since 20 years now and still my opinion is that people shouldnt play the code and enjoy the gameplay itself.
I dont need a parser in FFX,FF12, Street fighter etc. in order to know if i am getting better or not.... thats also kind of a skill, if you have the abillity to analyze how good you are even without a third party tool.
In this sense it is also kind of cheating / modding.

And there are things in a game that shouldnt be transparent to the players as well. I am not playing a f** Excel Sheet... thanks.

In my opinion this kind of transparency / tools is extremely outdated and MMORPGs should head more into the direction of entertainment than into numbers.
Thats something that in my opinion what rpgs shouldnt be like at all.
