    While DPS is an important metric for some jobs, it is often just one of many, and the problem with DPS meters is that it only shows you that one. It is often times more important to be doing the RIGHT thing than doing crazy DPS, especially in this game.

    DPS numbers led to some really toxic behavior in WoW, and anyone who played that game at a high level inevitably got exposed to it.

    I support being able to test your DPS against a dummy, or even get your own score that only you can see, but I strongly advise against any kind of 'scoreboard' like WoW had where people could see their entire teams' numbers. I have no doubt it would lead to the same toxic behavior here and the result will be far more negative than positive in most cases. Which is why I assume the developer of this game has refused to implement it, even though they easily could.

    Besides DPS current parsers also shows what skills you have used and their order(pressing skills in random order is rather common for some reason >_>)and damage taken, so not only does it show your DPS it also shows if you are derping. But what comes to SE made parser i think its not really needed as it would propably be inferior to current ones, and those who really cares for self improvement already uses tools currently avaible.
