They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

[Warpstone]

I'm glad all the addons are not in FF. I've seen everything drop dead in dungeons fast and people still complain about dps. Why? We are not dying every 5 seconds and the run is going fine, but god forbid some one does 1 dps to low, the world might end. Keep addons out of ffxiv.

An officially supported damage meter should be added, there is no good argument against this. All they need to do is allow people to simply set their damage to private if they can't handle potential criticism or just don't want to mess with it. Same way they did with the adventure plates.

They could even implement the feature with "private" as the default setting.

The information is already flowing that's how the current plug-ins work. All SE would need to do is add an in-game GUI that allows you to access it.

Being able to break down your damage and stats in a meaningful way is basically standard for most games like this, and it's insane that a game as big as XIV just ignores it. There are people I know who I keep trying to get into this game, but they won't because it is missing so many basic features like this.

Virtually nobody would quit because a damage meter was added (as much as they scream on twitter to the contrary, they won't). But more people would be interested in the game if it was updated this way. It's a net positive.

Edit: Since these forum uses an obscenely moronic design of locking you to 20 posts a day, I will stick to editing the OP.

I'll be excited to see what non-grey parsers think about this

You can already make yourself private with ACT so they wont have logs online, I am fine with how it is currently as it works well with xivanalysis as well to help you further improve.
I think a personal DPS meter would be fine but I can agree with Yoshi P, if you show everyone's DPS is will cause nothing but problems.
Allowing players to not be parsed wouldn't help out to ensure you are meeting DPS checks anyways as you need the total DPS to know if you are going to meet it or not.
At minimal I think our stats should show us the weight they have towards increased dmg, crit chance dh chance ect.

Actually, yeah that would be a good idea. Too many people abuse it and put requirements that are way higher than they need to be. You don't need 590+ ilvl to farm Zodiark EX, people were farming it comfortably before that level of gear was even out.

Disagree, unless they change savage to have an Ilvl requirement to enter this needs to stay as I am pretty sure savage does not have an ilvl requirement to enter. I may be wrong though it's been a minute since I even looked to see if there is one.

Savage has an ilvl requirement. You need 570-575-580-580 respectively to enter Asphodelos Savage.

..this comment really doesnt help your case.

He just proved, again, that what I said is true.

[VelKallor]

I don't believe either of these, and want SS as proof.

Sorry, but no screenshots were taken as no one told me I would need them to prove my case to someone I dont know, in a thread that didnt exist at the time. The matter was reported.

Shibi, a few days ago a friend of mine told me of a guy spamming dps numbers and hurling abuse.

IN SASTASHA.

Sus why is the story changing

Then why post something that is unconfirmed as evidence that people use DPS to harass people?

Here is some harassment in forums for... DPS of a healer... in normal raids... who doesn't play much end game content other than crafting/gathering/minion collection. Based off logs collected by random people on random days during a duty finder queue.

Whenever I see people like you my curiosity gets the better of me and I look them up on "the site" and I'm never surprised at what I see. These are the type of players who hate act. You hate it because it exposes you for being a terrible player and you want to be bad/lazy/inconvenience others in peace. Instead of hating the tool so much it's people like you who need to put it to use the most so you can figure out how and why you are scoring 0s on normal mode content.

I agree with Lilly, People who don't take the time and effort to improve are pretty toxic in my opinion, you're making other people's lives harder as a result. Furthermore, the amount of abuse I've received from just giving advice on how to play their jobs not like a complete ape is pretty common and no I don't need ACT to tell its more elementary stuff
