They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

Exactly all of this. You already have a bunch of filters you can have in a PF listing that act as "gatekeeping". Having one more won't cause any issues.

If you want to limit your party to only people who provide x DPS, you should have that right but making that choice also makes your party fill up slower because the higher you go the smaller and smaller the pool gets.

Likewise anyone who doesn't care can make their own PF listing, there isn't a limited number of listings available so it's not like they can keep you from doing content and gatekeep you, just form your own party.

I'd far rather have people filter for something that more directly correlates with performance than that they ask for the absolute maximum ilvl available for a given week such that alt jobs, or even any players who didn't get lucky with Savage drops, are effectively barred.

(Granted, logistically, that probably wouldn't be all that feasible unless the devs added a sharable high score system to one's SSS or the like. An in-game parser, useful as it is for learning and problem-solving once in the given content, does not in itself provide a shareable history/indicator of success useful to forming a group.)

I agree. It's kind of annoying when people lock stuff to 600iL
