DPS/HPS/TPS Meter

Then why have it if you admit it will be open to abuse? If jerks are going to jerk, why give them more information to use? People become more abusive with more information. With the ability to record concrete numbers, opens the floodgates of selection, separation, and then admonishment. "Well *IM* doing 800 DPS, you can't be doing more than 400, so you are bad." Will occur far more often than "Well, IM doing DPS and you are generating half my threat, you are bad" because a good portion of putting someone else down is attempting to show off yourself. And that is awfully hard when you don't know for sure.

If you want to work on rotations and such, perhaps you should ask for a dummy that, when it dies, gives you details on how quick it died taking so much dmg or w/e But having access to them any other time will result in the mechanics being a vector to abuse others.

The system is already open to the same level of abuse. People will attempt kick based on damage done. If you see someone pulling half your threat and you are abusive you will bring that up no matter if you have numbers or not, because that happens today. Let me just gut your comment, "Well *IM* doing high threat, you can't be doing more than half of me based on the treat you are putting out, so you are bad." This is no different than what you said just without numbers.

I like to compete against my friends and family that play a game with me. I also like to squeeze out every single bit of damage/healing I can because I like to try to be the best I can be at something. I feel as do most of my friends, we push each other to do better in this fashion and as such get better in the game we play together.

A dummy is not a boss fight. Movement and reaction time to events and abilities are not shown at a dummy. All of it matters when completing against my friends.

By your thinking it would almost seem better to disable the chat feature in duty finder so no one can use the current system in place to be abusive.

This is 100% on point. What he is suggesting cannot be proven to increase the rate of abuse what so ever. I would argue that by allowing people to see their own damage output, they would get better and overall dps discrepancies would be lower.

Those wishing not to use or partake in the meters could decline effectively making it EXACTLY the same as it is now.
