The same thing happened in WoW. I was the lowest dps in my raid then I got a meter (they were only just becoming a thing) then I climbed that meter. By the time we cleared the content I was 5-10% ahead of everyone else on that meter. Having that tool helped me SEE when I was slipping and helped me pull myself up whenever I did.

I'll admit I grew frustrated with the elitist culture that grew up around the meters, even if that culture was smaller than one may think. Here, now that I am actually trying to do content that semi-matters, I miss the darn things.
