They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

[Yeastyloins]

Gonna run out of popcorn with all of this back-and-forth.. But I feel I've noticed two very clear things.

The pro-meter crowd want it because of a variety of reasons, the most down-to-earth being "self improvement". Others saying its to justify publicly shaming people for not performing to their standards. The former is fine, the latter works against the request, as you give SE reason to continue saying No.

The anti-meter crowd don't want it because it could cause things to get worse, citing other mmos and their handling of said systems as evidence. While some are indeed correct with its public shaming getting out of hand, there are others that have done it well. I cannot personally come up with any names at present, but I imagine at least ONE exists.

All the while, I cannot help but muster the fact that XIV players (PC specifically) are requesting a DPS meter to be better.. meaning that Console Players who don't call for anything and just play the game are at a higher skill than PC players. (Entirely an assumption, but amusing none the less, what with the 'bruised ego' jabs people have made)

That must sting..

I mean, you still can get the parses of a console player.

Also telling somebody "Hey we need to push a bit more damage during on the boss since we're hitting enrage so why don't hold Tech Step during the adds phase of P3s so you can use when the boss becomes targetable since all of our pots will be back up if we slow damage on the birds during that phase and we can crank on the boss to make up the lost damage" isn't the same thing as "you f**King DNC so dumb, learn to play the game idiot" is not the same thing. Unless you take it that way then you got some Axis I or Axis II stuff going on.
