Very simple solution to DPS meters.

Don't add fights that require DPS checks and you wouldn't need DPS meters.

Problem solved.

Nah, people will still want damage if not to guarantee a clear, then to speed things up.

The DPS meter dilemma can be mitigated by increasing the effort to get data from the client into the addon. It seems, that tools like ACT can easily read the communication between server and client. Why not encrypt that data? And change the encyption keys with every patch or every server maintanance? And then there are also security techniques like ASLR. This makes it difficult to read the memory directly from the client. And none of those techniques is intrusive like root kit-like anticheat programs.

Forget it. There will always be a dps meter if it is possible to implement one. The very first addon in WoW vanilla was a dps meter. In early beta versions of this game they had already one. And there was not one single fight which required a minimum dps.
