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

I have never seen this new wave of criticism and persecution by tanks and healers that is being claimed on the forums.

If anything, they are pretty well protected in most of groups I've been in, seeing as DPS are the first to fill and we are usually waiting for tanks or healers.

New wave? Ever wonder why you wait for tanks / healers or why there is a reward for tanking coil/primals? It's because of the abuse that gets thrown at you for the increased visibility of your mistakes. This is why parsers matter.

When you outgear the fight by up to 40 ilvls and struggle with it killing it or meeting DPS checks, the party deserves to know which poetics princess is holding them back. Pony farming is miserable enough as it is and T9-13 having timed add phases that pad the fight's time length make farming those tiring even with a good group. When the tanks (or healers) are outparsing you, the party has a right to know.

Funny enough the main people I see complaining about tanks and healers...are healers and tanks respectively. Not saying dps don't complain, but they're hardly the sole suspects.

On another note, "poetics princess," I gotta use that someday. That's gold.

I wasn't trying to be mean or anything, I simply haven't seen it occur with any increased occurrence, or would agree with it if it did come up due to non-dps being already harder to obtain before a snowball of people start leaving.

Oh, I wasn't trying to call you out. I just came in after visitting the "Healing Horror Story" topic so I thought it was appropriate.

Off-topic question: What's a Tanner? Is that the Japanese name for Leatherworker?

I think its a throwback title, if leatherworker is now used there. I haven't updated my profile since forever.
