    Thank you. Parsing players being taboo is a weird view on things...

    Calling players out on their DPS is a bad thing, but why would they care about it when they don't even know about it? You said that it's possible to judge DPS based on enmity bar anyways... so no difference.

    We all have our own views on things like this I guess, but I just feel that we should encourage players that actually puts some effort in and do decent DPS.

    I did a dungeon with someone from my FC the other day (don't run often with him), and if I just looked at the enmity bar (which I don't want to do), then it would be hard to differentiate his performance to the normal player you group up with. With a parser though, I could see that he did really good DPS actually... And I say actually, because he's more of a casual player, and he doesn't think his DPS is very good, but in reality, he has good DPS.

    Is it wrong of me to acknowledge him for actually spending some time to improve? We need more casual players to do that IMO.

    [EDIT] You can have someone who is a fresh 50 who is doing barely (idfk i90 DPS values, lol, so lets go with) 300 DPS because they are in full i90. Does that mean they're a bad player? Not necessarily. So why judge them on a number value if they are playing correctly or making the effort to play correctly.
    I really don't understand what you're on about... ofc I take their gear into consideration.

    Also, have I ever mentioned judging players that doesn't get high numbers? There is only 1 commendation to give out for good performance. Me giving it to the one doing high DPS, doesn't mean I think the others are bad or anything... because I can't give anything to anyone else.

    If you're a DPS, I'm only gonna give my commendation to a DPS, IF they get high DPS for their level of gear, because that's their only job, what else should I determine it by? dodging AoE? well, most players can do that. If you're new, I'm not saying you need to have any high DPS, but you also can't expect me to give them a commendation for not learning how to do it well yet. Not unless I actually know that someone is new and are doing good considering that. I don't go asking everyone how long they have played the game. That if anything, is taboo...
