Change Player Commendations

Snip

Most people who use parsers do not use them for more casual content as it is incredibly rude (unless they are trying to see their own damage in an "action situation", that's the only time I could see anyone using a parser in a dungeon). I don't know anyone who uses them outside of raid content, especially to judge other players.

Everyone should be aware of enmity, that's why it can be used as a way to measure DPS. If you're not doing good DPS, you won't be high on the enmity table. That's why I said generally higher enmity = more DPS. If you had to stop attacking to lower your enmity, wouldn't that just make you lower on the parser and thus seem not as good? The enmity list seems like a more reliable gauge in that situation. Even if a tank is fairly geared and has strong lead on enmity, there's still a number/letter priority on the party list, even if the bars are barely visible.

My point is, you don't need to be parsed to get a commendation; the damage you do is only half the battle. The other half is having awareness for yourself and other party members. Keeping buffs up, avoiding AoEs, picking up items (like keys), and watching your enmity, are all signs of a good player that far exceeds pulling xx amount of DPS per encounter. People won't know your exact DPS values, so most people won't particularly care who's top DPS.
