    But I just disagree with it. And having the meter on a dummy would still be an improvement over no meter at all.
    Disagreeing because "you will use dps meters to kick" is an incredibly black and white statement, that's why we're butting heads a bit. I mean dps typically isn't even an issue when we're talking 4 man content or CT unless it's blatantly obvious that they're auto attack afking or standing idle, there's more than enough buffer from the rest of the group to make up for it (although this also because 4 man dungeons are really undertuned on release).

    Camp 1 only really works when other people are willing to share. Seeing your own number more often than not really offers no context depending on the fight and situation. How would you know your 200 dps is bad? That "public shaming" needs to happen at some point to some degree when it comes to dps comparison. Camp 2 is honestly going to happen no matter what. You already have people that kick for seeing a 100 soldiery tag, and I've gotten kicked out of a ramuh party for pointing out that the other bard wasn't doing his job with baiting... Some people out there really habe absurd standards when it comes to dpsing, mine is just "pull your weight" or "play your class properly" in my farm parties. Giving me a meter isn't really giving me more ammo to kick those sort of players because I can see it anyway.
