    Let's be honest, shaming will happen. If it's not dps then it will be ilvl. If it's not ilvl then it's clears. If it's not clears then it will be glamours. Humans attempting to shame other humans is going to happen and no amount of safeguards will prevent it. That's why the act itself should be looked down on.

    You are not proving a valid point at all and you don't understand a thing of what I said.

    DPS meters is NOT in the game for the reason of that SE would permit that way for players to be able to lockout other players if they can't reach X dps, even if what they do is more than enough.

    By adding the DPS meter = SE would permit people shaming over their DPS and it would be too much of a problem with harrashment and the likes that they simply would not bother to add it at all... what they should do though... they should remove the logging to peoples PC's by removing the entire combat log.

    You don't need it for anything and if anything it is more a development tool rather than ACT and the likes being able to sniff the data.

    I wonder what you guys did in the old days with difficult content when there was no DPS's meters and whatever else? I know what I did... I kept going at the content with some friends untill we beat it dead... but again hardcore gamers is a thing of the past, now they need tools for everything... and uh.. why should we play the game as intended?

    You can't shame on ilevel, it is labeled directly on the duty what is the minimum requirement, and it is doable at the minimum requirement, if you are good at your job of choice, most are scared for mechanics... so they rather want to skip them rather than to play them... that also raises quite a few good questions.

    We used ACT. ACT came out in around '00-'01, in Everquest. It was designed to show proof to the devs that the warrior class had too low of a dps compared to the other two tanks. All we had was a taunt button, autoattack, a kick and we could throw a stone. While the other two tanks had the same plus spells, so we could not hold aggro as well as them and we were being bared ftom raids because we couldn't preform as well as the other two classes. (Class were being closed out of raids before ACT was even a thing?? Surely not, only that sort of toxic behavior is caused by the evilness of ACT..)Devs said nah you guys are good so we had to get proof. Then once ACT came out people seen it could be a good way to track personal and groups dps. So it's been around for almost as long as mmos.
