I don't want that, I didn't start playing this game to go through another game's experience.
That's great. It kept a handful of people, out of the millions still playing it, away due to damage meters. If numbers scare you that much, I suggest you don't go further down the MMO tunnel.

It's not a hard concept. You numbers are low, make them higher. You're doing something wrong if they are completely different from someone of your gear/level. Why should I take someone that wants to do less work than someone else who clearly (As shown by the helpful parser information) does more and helps the group as a whole? Just like taking a guy to help you move, yet all he does is sit there and point out where everything goes instead of doing anything.
