This isn't WoW and it doesn't need the single thing that destroyed the whole game and made the whole Elitist/Casual debate become the focal point of the game.

It's really not a good idea to /ignore someone you are in a group with.

No, someone doing 20% less damage than "average" will never cause a wipe in Operations. Remember, your original statement was 1 person causing a group to wipe for 2 hours. I am merely saying that that is never the case in Operations, and not the case for DPS in Flashpoints (unless they're AFK, in which case you don't need a meter to tell you that).


Keep in mind, in case you've missed it, I have no problem with Parsers. They provide all the information you need. I am specifically against in-game "whack o' mole" real-time meters and anything that trivializes game content.

I will READILY give you the benefit of the doubt based on your above reply to me, you seem really passionate about playing a good game and there is certainly NOTHING wrong with that. I have run across tons of nice folks who are hardcore raiders and competitive to the max who STILL want to help new players or those who are struggling.

I did not mean to come off as cynical, I just really have been jaded by the community lately xD
I understand your frustration to the max. I'm just frustrated by people saying "don't turn this into WoW" comments. You can say whatever you want, a big part of WoW was/is good, and they need to be brought into this game. For example, I can't believe people would say "adapt or QQ quit, this isn't WoW" about ability delay. It is obviously a design flaw/bug, and it needed to be fixed. XD

Not having a dps meter is not a design flaw, though.

Only slackers and sucks will say we don’t need it, since the damage meter the only way to show how suck they are

SWTOR is a great game so give us the freedom to enjoy it more.

Team who spent 500 M to create this game don’t need all thios time to implement some UI customize and Add-ons, show us some reaction to make all haters and wow kids to shut up forever.
Like it´s so hard to figure out a rotation that kills 30k elite fastest and using that to kill bosses... you want training wheels too ?

Community > Elitists

That's my short answer on the usual result of tools like damage meters and how it effects the community.

For an individual damage meter I'd say 5 stars so that you can monitor your specific damage and use it as a tool for tweaking if so desired. As far as monitoring other players' dps.... No.
