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

A lot of the posts about parsers claim they want them for personal improvement, this is something SE could potentially let us have. If you were at satisfactory, and got yourself to exceeds expectations, you are improving. You can change gear etc. and check the differences. I don't use parsers in this game (used them in FFXI), and I have nothing against them. I just don't think they are needed in this game. It is very obvious when someone is trying or not, and as long as they are trying I really don't mind carrying them. It is the dead guy on the floor that was bossing people around I have a problem with.

If you want to use them to check on other people, and potentially remove/exclude them from content, SE will not touch that because it excludes people. All the topics in the world will not get us that type of a DPS meter.

What they could do, is keep an average score (not show actual DPS) for each job in that duty, and let you see your own score compared to that score. Being job specific, you will not be able to use it to exclude specific jobs as they won't be ranked against each other. This may be something they wouldn't shy away from at least.

I like this idea, but the mechanism for scoring seems arbitrary to me. What would this score calculator use to calculate the score other than using statistics that are already commonly used(total damage dealt, DPS, total healing dealt, HPS, etc.)?
