I hope we never get meters. Or if we do it is only for your own personal character's performance. I dont want to deal with the e-peen strokers telling me, or anyone else in the party how to do their jobs because their meter says something.

Meter-readers tend to use it purely for numbers, but also tend to not take into account all actions of the fight. I played wow, I raided, and I can tell you a lot of my non-raiding friends used meters, and would yell at 'scrubs' who had low numbers and one day I had enough and called them out over Ventrillo about it.

"That 'scrub' you're calling out was dead for 5 minutes of the 8 minute encounter, because you were so busy looking at the damn meter you weren't doing your fecking job as a healer. Get good yourself before you go trashing on others and if I ever hear you talk about meters again you're out of the group."

....he never brought up meters where I could hear him again.

Self meters won't be a good idea either, since they can choose to ignore those and remain hidden of what their performance is. I can see their use only for theorycrafting and people who set up guide for getting decent DPS rotations out.

But even right now there are more than enough detailed guides for each glass on the said boards, here and elsewhere, that provide a good base to you to work with.
And yet still, there are players who can't even get the basics of their class done.

Medica on the slightest damage?
Flare with 80% mana left, Fire 1 spam in a group with 4+ monsters on the tank?
Archers/Bards who are ignorant about their songs and spam heavy shot on a macro?

I've seen them all.
And that reflects on their numbers. Which we may be able to find out once SE puts a meter in. Or not.
After all, it is just information - It is up to the individual who interprets those numbers and put them to use.

In the end I got a question for you : If you are confident with your DPS and you have indeed the numbers to back it up, what will be the problem for you?

If this is in reply to the topic at hand, this isn't about meters in the game, but more of a ranking score based off of job performance, and displaying this information to you at the end of a run. This would be personal info, so others couldn't see it to reduce any want to grief others based off their performance. .
