DPS meters and why they're necessary

Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's your own fault. The post you quoted and answered is 191. This first post of yours is 160. The second one is post 166. You brought up your awesomeness from other games way before the question was asked, and the only reason the question was asked was because you brought up how awesome you were at those games. You have no one to blame but yourself for that. Also, please show me where advocating "third party software" is a bannable offense...

I know you assume but just FYI...
I've never been kicked out of a party for bad DPS or any other reason.

Even in WoW and Aion when people posted DPS meters I was always high on them and often on top.

I'm sorry you lack the skills to be good at a game without addons.

However I've been good at games since the Atari and have topped MMO's since they were text based MUDs.

Like I said personally I think people that need them are just weak and lack basic skills to self evaluate so they need something to do it for them.

Sorry if that hurts your e-peen but it don't change that SE agrees more with my stance than yours.

I've played almost every major MMO launched in the past 20 years.
I was topping MMOs when they were text based, ran the most successful raiding guild in WoW on Shadowsong for 3 years which I built. Pulled server firsts that unlocked content for our faction and finished end game that 90% of our faction couldn't even put together a group to walk into.

I did this without DPS meters...

I'm sorry you need addons to do what I've been doing since before DPS meters existed.

And this beauty of a post sums up the entirety of your argument: hot air with no solid substance to back it up.

Oh please do, also bring up how when the game began there were no meters and it rose to be the most successful MMO in history.

How the increasing people leaving and the decline in end game play pretty
much started once DPS meters dominated the game.

How this caused them to constantly change character classes costing them millions in development and led to them removing choice from character design to reduce the number of people that can't hack it in end game play.

How since then, the game has lost over 80% of it's world players outside China and they couldn't maintain their game without bots/gold farmers.

How the game is turning cash shop in desperation, allowing people to buy level cap and allowing those left to multibox 10+ accounts to keep enough subs to stay in business.
