well first, its not anyone its just you and many others. secondly i havent played with that many guys who used parsers in the background.. happily.

and i was asking myself.. well we succeded in that battle.. am i a better player next time when i know how much damage i did in a total? ;XD
Why would it bother you if someone wants to use a damage meter? Raid leaders use it to determine the fire power of their team. Some people use it to measure self improvement as they progress further and some people use it to be competitive with their friends, such as myself. Being competitive is a part of life (sports comes to mind). It does not mean that numbers are all I see. I appreciate paying attention to the beautiful environment of the game, storyline, etc as well.

Is it possible that you're scarred from a bad experience in the past with elitist jerks who looked down on others (which is commonly found especially in World of Warcraft)?

I'd like to remind people that it's not the damage meter that makes players become elitist assholes... these players are elitist assholes to begin with, even without the damage meters.

Damage meters already exist as a third party program used in the background, so I have no doubt we'll see an in-game add-on in 2.0.
