    This is some kind of mod?

    Anything like that can only work by reading your game logs / battle chat log.

    They could just clean up what gets spit out to the logs.

    For example... note the DPS parsers people use in FFXIV. They just read your battle chat log. Over in another MMO where addons are actually encouraged: Elder Scrolls Online... they disabled the ability of DPS parsers to be used to shame people by cutting out any information relating to other player's performance from the battle log. You can run a DPS meter, but it will only show you in isolation. People who want a shared meter then have to run one that takes your logs and yells it back out into a private channel for other people with that meter... And raid guilds tend to relay on having people record of a video of them attacking a target dummy to judge applications.

    They could shut off the DPS meters here in a second, by just killing or cropping the combat log.

    And likewise for any 'boss mods' / 'game trick mods'.

    And the DPS meter that only shows you in isolation that you can run in ESO... is actually still extremely useful. I can go read a guide that tells me "execute this well, and you should see a DPS of about X..." and then look at my meter as I try to perfect my skills. And it does exactly what people always claim they're using those meters for anyway: self-training tool.

    I'd like a built-in DPS meter that would compare my output with what I should get if I executed everything perfectly, possibly with suggestions of what I could to to achieve that.
    It should also have a memory that shows each test run against previous saved ones.
