They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

Yeah those logs are used to break down pulls, not really to gauge personal performance (we use sims and application for that). Which is also a reason why having logs over just a silent dps meter is important. It's to look at group performance.

Having that information readily available natively in the 14 client would be a powerful tool. People who actually know how to read logs don't really care about the raw rDPS so much as how it weighs against the other bits of data.

For Raids sure, for M+ not so much since there exist a level of strategy in M+ completion is captured by logs, its easier to utilize IO as a mean to determine who you want for a group.

While it would be good for analysis, the issue is that the casual player base either will A) not understand said information or B) ignore it out of spite due to the already cultivated culture that surrounds the game. Just like how you can't remove DPS meter from WoW, you can't add DPS meters to FF14.

If anything, I'd rather just allow for ACT and expand the API for more robust information to be collected via ACT while keeping current rules regarding talking about logs, parses, or DPS values.
