As a DPS there is no way for me to judge and evaluate my performance and the performance of others without damage/dps meter addon. This kind of stuff typically isn't put in a default UI by game developers so it is up to the community to make an addon for it. For DPS players who care about their DPS in any MMO including FFXIV:ARR a dps meter addon is a must, there is no arguing this fact.
