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

Camp 1 only really works when other people are willing to share. [other words]

I agree, to a degree (zing).

While having a universal parser makes things massively easier, it is possible to use an individual parsing system that gives you a goal to shoot toward, and what can be achieved with min/max. I think a ranking system was brought up in this thread which seemed like a good idea to me. Meeting the minimum DPS requirement would give you an A rank, S for going beyond that, and S+ to go even further beyond. People would want to get an A rank at the least and the system would encourage that (maybe if you get an A rank, you get some kind of small reward). That way you want to do good DPS (or even better DPS) but aren't being forced to by other player's.

Even though one where public comparisons could be made would be superior (so people can actually pinpoint where someone is doing something wrong and help them fix it), this is a perfectly reasonable workaround imo

This would be a good Positive Rewards / Goal System idea that would encourage players to strive to get better. We see stuff like this a lot in Action Games, like CAPCOM's Devil May Cry, or ratings at the end of Fighting Games. Maybe you get Bonus Tomestones, or other cool Rewards for getting S Rank, etc.?





That way, individual players can see their own Rank and strive to improve, without the toxicity and bullying / abuse that goes on with various people.
