They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

[FoxyAreku]

I've seen what happens when this sort of thing is allowed. So I don't agree.

But why, if it would only show your DPS?

Because people will start demanding that you link your DPS to join a group. For veteran players like me "it doesn't matter". for new players who are just starting to learn "no group for you buddy. Play with the other rejects".

Literally has never happened in WoW in the 16+ years the game has been up.
You can get kicked if your dps is low, but you don't 'link dps to join a group'. There's not even a way to do that, especially if you haven't been in the fight before.
The former is avoided by...well, not being bad at your job.

This would also only apply to savage content. No one cares if you're bad in easy mode content, parser or not.

Just add a personal damage meter that players can turn on in the UI. You only see your own damage. If you really want, you can export the log to submit to tracking sites so people can have their e-peening and their analysis tools.

But the game does need some supported means for players to gauge their own personal performance. Not that of anyone else. Just them.

That's incorrect. Comparison is how you learn, something telling you 'you did 2k dps' isn't helpful, most people won't even know offhand if that's good or not.
Just have it not be useable in dungeons/easy content or something. The clear problem people have with it is that they're scared someone is gonna make mean comments to them, like that doesn't already happen, and they don't want to improve. Everything outside of savage/extreme/ultimate is way too easy for anyone to care about their damage there.
