What's the point of being elite at your job?

[scarebearz]

DPS meters were one of the worse things to have entered the MMO genre. Over time it became less about "Are we beating the boss?" and more about "Am I beating other raid members in the DPS meters?".

There is nothing wrong with DPS meters.

The problem is people like the OP, because of people like this SE believe we as a community are not mature enough for an Official DPS meter. After reading this thread, I guess they do have a point.

Wanting personal reward for performing well is a bad thing? I don't care how good or bad your dps is, I care how good or bad my dps is.

Maybe the issue is players like you who attack people they know nothing about.

On FFXIV Reddit you made the same post and replied to someone by saying this:

i'm elite because my dps shits on yours

Now your saying:

lol...

Myself and anyone reading this thread/Reddit can see quite enough about your views to give our opinion.

Want to feel like you're better than other people?

Play PVP.

Square doesn't let elite players really separate themselves from the pack. I was a diamond player in League of Legends because of my mechanical skill. My decision making was pretty mediocre, but then again, when you're mechanically better than most people you meet, almost every decision is technically a good one. If there's one thing I'm good at it's playing things at a mechanical level better than most people....

Honestly this logic can be applied to any and all games. The reason you are good at LoL is not coz of some natural talent. It is something you learnt by putting in the time and effort to learn how to play. However anyone who spent the same amount of time as you learning to play LoL would be approximately at the same skill level. The simple fact of the matter is being good at any game purely comes down to time invested, not talent.

Therefore those who invest their time into an MMO like FFXIV will naturally become an "elite" player, however there is nothing special at all about this moniker. SE realize this and have opted to create a game that everyone can enjoy, not just a mere few who can afford to waste their hours learning such "elite" mechanics. They want it accessible to many players (including casuals) which is perfectly fine.

You are also underestimating the challenge Coil posed before ilevel's got way ahead of the level 50 cap.

It's important to note that you're comparing your skill in a PvP game to your skill in a PvE game. Since you can't know exactly how each LoL match will go, mechanical skill is more important, as is reacting to other players' strategies.

In PvE raids, the boss doesn't change it's strategy, so the only way to get better is to learn/memorize the fight. Also, if you get a fight to a high level of memorization you can learn how to squeeze out every last drop of damage because you know when all the mechanics happen, distinguishing yourself or your group.

Finally, this game is more about groups distinguishing themselves in new content. If you want to be an elitist, try doing the world first race where no one knows mechanics and you can't be some "clown" who reads a guide.

Your reward is the self-satisfaction of not sucking like those 1-2-3 plebeians.

Play BLM, and try to optimise dps as high as you can in alex savage, I'm sure this will prove to be the challenge you are looking for
