But not all others are of the same class. If you've got a bard who could use his songs to boost the black mage's damage output and dramatically help the group's overall damage, or instead could focus solely on his own personal DPS, the use of DPS meters would encourage the later. They make people less apt to work together because they're being judged individually and not by their contribution to the group.
