They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

....

Apologies, I was definitely applying the idea of it to 14 where M+ didn't enter the equation in my mind.

Anything SE could come up with would be sub-par to what ACT can currently accomplish, but it still makes me bristle when people on both sides of the argument can't articulate why we have these tools in the first place.

End of the day, MY DPS is none of your business.

Ah yes, the horror of wanting to play with others of comparable skill level. How dare they.

And yeah, fflogs.com. There, I said it.

You know you can easily block your logs. I do. And it is not out of shame. My DPS is none of your business.

Since the topic will not go anywhere as both sides (myself included) are too bullheaded to budge even an inch... I'll just leave with this one thought.

Riddle me this. What are the reasons for low DPS? If you can answer this then you know what to look for when you want to improve.

I've seen plenty of grey logs to straight up answer you. Not pressing buttons. 80% GCD uptime and drifted CDs are truly a staple when it comes to "bad" players.

Of course. And I can just as easily avoid grouping with you by either not joining your parties or removing you from mine. And we would both be happier for it.

Oh yes it is.

You're playing a multiplayer game based around team content. Your group has full right to boot you whenever they like if the majority feel you aren't contributing. They just aren't allowed to be rude to you over it. Your performance is everyone's business. If you don't like that, I'd recommend a single player rpg.

I've been PFing the tier lol, it's rare that anyone will even call you out for hiding logs tbh, much less ask for it. They only leave when you/whoever/the party can't pass a certain mechanic. :shrug:

Correct. And knowing this all of us can improve regardless of whether we have the tracker or not. And while you got your information from analyzing logs I got mine from "Crap Guide to Final Fantasy XIV".

Based on whose standards? I know my rotation. I know my job very well. So who is the one to judge me and determine whether I am contributing or not when I know the mechanics, my rotation, etc?

Got some bad news as to how all guides determined rotations and weaving windows.
