Post Duty damage meter

[Everbox]

To be fair, DPS checks do exist in this game. Sometimes, the numbers do actually have to hit some minimum threshold or else you're not seeing that Duty Complete screen.

And even without DPS checks, improving those numbers might mean you get to that Duty Complete screen sooner rather than later.

The problem is when someone tries to "greed" those numbers instead of playing it on the safer side.

Obviously DPS checks exist, but that’s a far cry from handing players a full-on meter to obsess over the entire fight. Mindsets will shift from focusing on learning mechanics to looking at their number on the DPS meter. Improving your numbers can speed up clears, yes, but only if you actually understand the fights. The vast majority of raid wipes, over 90% by most community estimates, are caused by players not handling mechanics correctly, not by low DPS. In cases where mechanics are executed properly by everyone and the DPS check still isn’t hit, you can just look at enmity order to see who’s contributing least instead of begging SE to add a meter.

Nah, ff14 needs dps meter simply to call out not bad play but literal botters pretending to be "casual tee hee" in any content.

Just google auto duty, auto rotation etc. People blatantly cheat to do roulettes and nothing you can do about it.

if you think a DPS meter will magically stop botters, I fear you're delusional. People will find ways to cheat no matter what tools SE gives them. Adding a meter just shifts focus from learning mechanics to obsessing over numbers and breeds toxicity for everyone else. IF someone is auto-rotating or botting, there's already logs, reports, and SE monitoring to deal with them. Creating a DPS meter isn't going to solve the issue you're bringing up.
