Yeah we don't need that... a damage meter of any kind promotes bad behavior.

Nope, that's not how it works. It's kind of like the phrase "guns don't kill people, people kill people" (sorry if this is in poor taste, I'm just using it to illustrate that an object only does what the operator wills).

Damage meters are like computers in that they can't do anything they're not told to do; they can't promote anything but data. However, an already terrible human CAN use them for negativity... which I think is closer to what you're getting at. It doesn't really change anything that's already been stated in this thread, though.



EDIT to clarify: I'm for damage meters because they're a tool. Whether they are wielded by good or evil, well... that's a risk taken with any tool ever made.

A chat box promotes bad behaviour, we need to remove this from the game ASAP. Without the chat box there will be no way people can be meanies.

The internet promotes bad behaviour. For the sake of the children, we should shut it down for good.

But then people would still whine and complain that they paid for the game and the post game challenge fights are to hard and need to be nerfed.

A chat box is required for the game to function at a basic level. A parser is not.

Sorry but I have played WoW so I know exactly where dps addons go. It is not needed, it will only make the community worse... why waste resources? If you are skilled at any level where a parser may help you should be able to figure out if you are doing good damage or not. If you are not skilled then a parer isn't going to help because you haven't even figured out the basic rotation.

Waste resources? They already have a parser in their development builds as shown in a screenshot not too long, the only thing that would need to implemented is an actual UI for it, but that shouldn't be a problem as I'd imagine their UI team isn't exactly constantly active. Also, you can play the entire game from the beginning to end without using chat, excluding those quests that have you type things. Remind me, how is that required for the game to function?

So you learned all the fights in the game without any communication from anyone? That is rather impressive...

Oh and parers use resources... a lot of resources.

99% of the game's content doesn't require proper doing of mechanics other than "Move out of this big orange AoE", all challenging content I've done is learnt through written/video guides. You know why we fail a lot of that content? That's right, a lot of it has to do with poor DPS. If you mean resources CPU wise, then PS3 can either be singled out or it can implemented with 4.0 when the PS3 is likely to be dropped.
