Lack of damage meters is why this game is getting boring

I should really start putting sarcasm tags on my posts.

There is really no need for addons of any kind.

Once BW allows addons they are giving up a large amount of control on how content will be developed. Because they will have to take existing addons into account on what they can do to provide challenging encounters.
Of course they are not forced to do that but if they don't every group with addons will likely breeze through the content, while others play as intended. If they do, they are basicly forcing everyone to use the addons on which they based the mechanics.

I rather have them include the features by themselves and not hand out that kind of control to players.

You misunderstood my underlying point. It's the fact that I get about the same amount of valor regardless if I win or lose, and the Ilum buff doesn't change that fact. Point being, my incentive to pvp right now is for valor, and if I get the same amount of valor regardless if I win or lose, why should I try to win.

edit: nvm dont want to risk an infraction

Combat log and parsers are necessary.

Anyone that argues that is bad.

We don't need "add ons" Just 1. Parsing.

Combat logs are interesting reading now a day? Never thought i would see the day when numbers were considered that much more interesting than a game.

Ahh I see, it seems to help big time for me, could be a bug or an Issue with PvP.
Have you checked the PvP forums for other peeps having this issue ?

Does Runescape have a combat log?

It's not a bug, its working as intended. That's his point.

The majority of games have a way to "score" yourself. Minesweeper even has a competitive element to it with a simple stop watch. Why is wanting to know how well you are doing, so you can strive to do better next time, such a bad thing?
