DPS Meter Usage?

[Frizze]

The way i would tell you to think of meter usage is like Jaywalking. Its against the law/rules, but its a very minor offense that usually has no victims and isnt often prosecuted in most jurisdictions. If your Jaywalking causes an accident thats when the cops will take it more seriously. If a friend did it so he could give you something, the cops wouldnt be arresting you as an accessory. So in game the "accident" equivalent would be: parsing the group, deciding that you dont think the NIN is contributing enough, telling him so and that you used a 3rd party program to help make the decision, kicking him out, and him reporting you(probly because he thought you were rude and you hurt his feelings). You havent installed a parser let alone done the rest, so you are innocent.

And i cant imagine you actually got any sort of real unfair advantage either. I remember when i did the 4 man titan story fight, i randomely got a group with a healer and 2nd DPS who did not understand how to stay on the platform. At least one of them would go off every time he jumped, because they would get too close to the edge and stand in the red aoe marker. Both me and the tank tried to explain to them what they were doing wrong, but it was pointless. Either they couldnt read english, they were complete idiots, or they were purposefully trolling me and the tank. I stayed with them for almost 45 mins worth of tries and explanations before someone left the group and we all split up. My 2nd group beat it first try with no problems. My roommate got a better group then me, so he beat it right away first try. Did getting a better group give him an unfair advantage? I never thought so, just the way that luck works out sometimes.

tl;dr Quit if you feel you must but you havent actually done anything wrong OP.

Oh, and about the BLM thing you mentioned. I havent actually watched the video in question, but unless they spend a lot of time talking about the meter and really focusing on it then theres likely nothing wrong. I would guess the video is more focused on the class itself and using its skills right.
