If there is no damage meter? Then how do we know who to kick out of a raid after a wipe? Is it really fair that a raid group has to carry a dps just tagging along on auto-follow?

You don't need a dps meter to notice if someone is on follow - they are just standing there doing nothing, that should be your first heads-up.

As far as I am concerned there should be no Game-Play Addons whatsoever.
When MMO´s were new there were no Damagemeters, Aggrometers or whatever ...

You would not believe it, but people just had to learn how to play...they even actually had to develop some skills...

This game in all its story, efford to be something for real fans of the StarWars Idea and overall fun to play, should only be played by those that are able to do without all this stuff.

Sorry but those who are not able to do that..play the other stuff...for kids.. I do not even wish to write those 3 letters down at all for I do not wish to invoke the wrath of those who are worthy^^

Be the force with us all..always!

P.S. And if I did missuse the english language in any way I offer my deepest apologies ..I am german and not that used to it..Cya

Its about if they are doing a proper rotation you dont want someone in a raid out of power all the time because they hit their highest dmg ability when ever they have enough power. That almost never equated to the most dps in PVE.

A dps meter breaks down more than just your dps it gives you factual numbers on your rotation and break down the amount of dmg per ability % wise. It shows you the same for your raid mates. Its like taking a test and having a computer grade it. The mathamtics go very deep to break it down per encounter.

from what i understand, dps meter, quest helper etc are supposed to be inserted later by bioware.. they said a few months ago that they will not support addons, but that the most common ( these 2 ) will be intigrated into the UI sometime soon... so within maybe 3 months?
