The problem is, this would work just fine if there were enrages...it would make things fun and a challenge to overcome and feel great when you overcame the challenge. The issue is this playerbase is so coddled and white knighted that if you notice someone is truly just playing AWFULLY you CANNOT give ANY "unsolicited advice" in a TEAM GAME. I'm not talking like "nice guy behavior" like "you suck play better"...I'm talking like "Hey PLD, I noticed that you weren't really using Flight or Fight or Req, these do a lot of damage and help you contribute to the dps check, try to use them more often to help out"... NO you CANNOT say anything like this because it's "unsolicited advice". IN A TEAM GAME WHERE WE NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT. So because of this, because I cannot help and there is no community spirit, people just silently leave. IN SITUATIONS WHERE IT CAN TOTALLY BE SAVED AND CLEARED.

This mentality of "any advice is a toxic assault on my honor" is strangling things from ever changing. In savage you are KICKED AND BLACKLISTED for being stubborn. People spread your name around if you are a routine trash can, because there are expectations to be met if you are truly awful. It's a small community and there are expectations and decorum.

In normal mode, there is no room for ANY advice or help even if it's like I said above, nothing remotely toxic just literally helping someone do more damage. THERE IS NO DPS METER IN THIS GAME. Dude, just literally give a DPS meter FOR JUST THE PERSON TO SEE, FOR THEMSELVES! No one else. No team dps meter. Just a dps meter for literally THAT player alone to see. They'll want to see why it isn't higher. They'll be curious how to make the number go up, and naturally, it will make them seek out to improve, if they have a functioning brain.

People naturally want to do good, and want to see numbers go up. Why on earth can there NOT be a PERSONAL dps meter? It won't be tracked or anything it will literally just be for that person alone, no fflogs, nothing. It BAFFLES my mind that STONE SKY SEA does NOT have a dps meter for it for that instance so people can see what their rotation looks like. Insane.

Unless this changes, we can't have dps checks in normal.
