They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

[Kirundo]

I sure love how it's the same people making the same arguments against parsing in every thread on the topic who stop posting after receiving the same arguments they have no response to

Literally NPC's

The argument basically boils down to "it might be bad" or "Yoshi-P said it might be bad"

"it's bad because it's against TOS and it's against TOS because it's bad"

tl;dr

Can't they just have an option to see only your own personal stats at the end of a fight ?
ex :
dealt = xxxxx ; xx% ; role average +-xx%
taken(avoidable) = xxxxx ; (unavoidable)= xxxxx ; role average +-xx% ; deaths x
heal = xxxxx ; shield = xxxxx ; effective = xxxxx ; xx% ; role average +-xx%

That way you have your own infos to see if you were good, and if you're with friends or people you're confortable with you can share ?

If people request theses infos, they are probably the kind that would be toxic anyway, so it doesn't change much.
If someone doen't want to see their stats, just have it disabled by default and with a button to see it anyway.

Have that window impossible to screenshot with the built if capture tool too, so if people share it, it's proof they use a third party tool and shall be banned XD

I'm afraid that keeping it private would defeat the purpose of having DPS meter in the first place. All it would do in that case is spout a number that's meaningless on its own. Ultimately your damage gives you little to no info in the vacuum. It's a piece of data that needs to be analyzed and compared. Without any anchoring or comparison it's meaningless.

The argument basically boils down to "it might be bad" or "Yoshi-P said it might be bad"

And the response is "Harassment is banable offense" or "No it won't be bad". If it was always so clear and cut the world would be beautiful. It's not. While I'd love to believe that strict enforcement of rules helps with keeping community nice and open the truth is the less pleasant elements are just better at concealing it. We already practice the art of backhanded compliments and passive aggressive behavior. We already have DPS/Healers taking the role of setting a pace from a tank they feel doesn't fulfill it's role properly which judging from some topics and responses is generally acceptable behavior. Do we really need to give out another direction this type of behavior might grow?

Today Jaquan learns that people will always find a way to be shitty no matter what
Shock and surprise ensues
