sorry to hear that. i think maybe you should move to another data center. i've played Brayflox Hard more times then i can count. and never once has someone left like you describe.

and yeah at the very least a damage meter at the practice dummies would help a lot. at least we could practice stuff on personnel time.

honestly it would useful inside a dungeon too. lets say you and another player are using the same class/job and are equally geared. with the damage meter you can see, on a boss fight, how the both of your average damage equals out. if his is low you can offer advice. if yours is low you can ask for advice. it's a whole lot easier then paying attention to battle logs or eye-balling the other player through out the entire fight. there are much more important things to focus on. a damage meter can help improve overall efficiency in group content.
