Why not an ingame damage tracker?

[Odett]

Given the excessively large population of people playing this game who think high dps is more important than everything else, to include dodging, pulling the adds of the healer, etc I can say with absolute certainty that giving people an application that would allow them to see how much dps they're doing would only lead to even more problems with people choosing dps over survival.

Choosing DPS over survival would mean they would die, do 0 DPS and next-to-nothing DPS with 1 minute of weakness, and this would show with a DPS meter. I understand what your concern is, but that's not how a DPS meter works.
