DPS display could easily be solved with a system already in game.

What is with this sentiment that others must be judged by some manner of metric. HP, iL, DPS... I just don't get it. So the Monk could keep Greased Lightning going for the whole fight, did they at least hit the target in a consistently persistent manner? Did they avoid the avoidable damage? Did they get anyone else killed? No, then what's the problem? Seriously, we don't need any kind of peer accessible metric, at it will serve is to feed egos and damage groups.

Others? I don't particularly care about how "well" other DPS are doing; I care about my DPS. I'd love to be able to quantify my DPS and compare it against others to see if I can improve. I'd love to be able to directly see the impact a different gear set has as well.

Very least something like this should be added to the training dummies we have, though I'd still like to see my numbers when dealing with actual mechanics.

Simple solution to any "drama" issue; Have it display at the end of a successful dungeon/trail/raid and make it an option in the Character Configuration. If you select to see your numbers, it lists your numbers at the end. If you don't, it doesn't and nobody can see your numbers. Problem solved. Heck, just make the whole thing a personal venture by only having it show your personal numbers and let us share numbers if we want.

I like this compromise. I always thought that DPS meters should be used for personal improvement only, because comparing e-peen just sets people up for drama.

Simple solution...

Can't believe so many people missed this, myself included. On the first page, no less. This is, by and far, the most perfect answer that anyone could come up with. I said to myself I'd keep out of this thread after seeing certain replies practically scream 'can't hear you, lalala!', but after seeing the above post I had to find this post. The only reason I can see this as getting any flak is from those who want to see other players' results instead of their own.
