DPS Tool

[juniglee]

If there's in-game parser that only shows your dps then there's no room for abuse. No one but you can see your dps and you can't see anybody else's.

Ultimately I don't think this will solve anything. You may know your own numbers, but is it a good enough indication of whether your DPS is good or not? It would probably be good enough for theorycrafting optimal rotations, but not for knowing whether you are meeting DPS checks in fights. You would kind of have to hope you are doing enough DPS, and hope that you are able to keep up with the rest of your party, or that they keep up with you. As well as eventually, people are going to share their numbers anyway, so might as well not limit it to just personal DPS meter.

So you basically have nothing to argue with. Gotcha.

Don't argue with Gormogon. Next, he's going to argue that FFXIV should be like those single player games where you can take your time and kill bosses solo. He believes in a world without DPS checks, and without a need for grouping.

I have no problems with Parsers when they make Parties with low DPS Players or newbies more attraktiv for Power Players.

Example
0 low DPS and 4 high DPS = 30% EXP and 1% Chance of Items in Dungeons or Parties.
1 low DPS and 3 high DPS = 60% EXP and 10% Chance of Items in Dungeons or Parties.
2 low DPS and 2 high DPS = 100% EXP and 20% Chance of Items in Dungeons or Parties.
3 low DPS and 1 high DPS = 150% EXP and 30% Chance of Items in Dungeons or Partyies.
..
7 low DPS and 1 high DPS = 200% EXP and 70% Chance of Items in Dungeons or Parties.
Medal of Honor for 8 Low DPS and 0 high DPS = 200% EXP and 80% Chance of Items in Dungeons.

I can see the kind of PF farming abuse this would give room to. Make like a 5 DPS Titan HM party. Have 1 DPS in average i110, and the rest in i55 or something.

To be fair as well, everything pre-50 are light parties (with the exception of that one 8-man guildhest), so you would only be at 2 DPS slots, making EXP bonus moot.
