DPS Tool

I fail to understand this "discrimination" issue.

There is already a "discrimination" system in place, by the game itself - the ilvl requirement. That is the same as the old "gearscore", and is, in fact, the dumbest kind of discrimination ever.

ilvl is just nominal - you might be an ilvl 100 playing so bad that an ilvl 70 guy can outdps you. On the other hand, an objective "dps value" would be a way more precise measure of a player's skill.
Still "discrimination", sure - but at least a reasonable one.

By the way, I think we should stop using the word "discrimination" to describe "wanting other people to carry their weight", because this is how it's being used.

Or we could take a step back and realize that discrimination is not a bad thing. I mean, we all discriminate against certain foods (for example) for a variety of reasons from taste to texture to allergies to healthfulness. Or, I dunno, maybe someone out there is gnawing on their desk as they read this and thinking I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Discrimination is not an issue unless the standards become unreasonably strict or unless it's accompanied by harassment. There's nothing wrong with "Sorry, I don't think your Darklight Bow is going to cut it in LX." There *is* something wrong with "LFG WPSR Zenith and Myth gear required." There's also, clearly, something wrong with "OMFG, your DPS is only 200? WTH is wrong with you? Are you stupid? Do you even know what you're doing?"
