I don't think I'll mind to much, if and when it comes.

Frankly it will make it easier for me to choose the people that I want to play the game with. I will be able to dissociate with those that, by their own choice, choose not to treat this as a simple and pleasurable diversion from everyday life.

Don't worry guy there will, and always will be, people that do not play the numbers game, and those people have been playing PC games for years. Others can, and do call us 'bads' with little or no provocation, but like water off a ducks back it goes somewhat unnoticed....well that's my take on it, a highly personal one at that.

The game will go on, players will group up, and people will find like minded folks, and all will have fun. Also trust that the developers will appease both sides, it can be done, and done well, their are games out there that prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Let the meters come, let the combat logs flow like rain...it won't matter to me at all. let's get this over with, the sooner, the better.

Play your game, and I'll play mine.

No one is scared.

Like I said, I hope that these meters come quickly. The sooner they arrive, the sooner we can determine who we really want to group with.

I may (or may not) use a meter to improve myself, but I would not, and will not, group with those who choose to use them as a means to belittle others, and as a way to separate, label, and judge harshly those around them.

It's a tool, not a weapon.

We've forgotten about that.

How would you know? Do you have some kind of meter to tell you which poster is bad DPS and which isn't?

Im clearing all of the content just fine without using some stupid meter. Glad my guild will never use it and still get through all of the raids and what not.

I HAD to quote this. This is a great post.

My guild will not be using meters as we are already clearing all of the HM flashpoints and raids anyway. Why would I worry about what other people think of my DPS or anyone else's DPS in my guild if we are never going to party with those people? There is no need so bring on the meters. They will be of no use to me.

as much as having one would be good, for several reasons listed in this thread, theres also the factor that peaks its evil head out, and that is the abiltiy to belittle people. with it, (if it were to allow the ability to see others people damage/healing whatever) people will just tell other people in flashpoints/operations that they suck.

the problem is we will see the "Bad" Trump the "good" in every aspect. for example, look at WoW, no one ever uses combat logs for good anymore, they only really use it to belittle others to make them feel "good" about them selves, and to think they are better then the other player they just made feel bad or upset.

That is cause ToT nightmare modes are easiest raid content in MMOs hands down. Without DPS meters, they can never put any serious fights into the game cause you cant divide goods and bads in anyway atm so content has to be this level that almost anyone can do it.

Same goes for competetive PvP, there wont be any before meters are in the game cause you cant balance classes in any way without knowing how much dmg each ability exactly does or prevents.

Can we get a word on why it is taking so long for this to be implemented when it is so crucial to everything in the game...
There I fixed it for you.

Don't you just hate it when people say what my biggest problem is with the game, with out consulting me?

ahahaha go back to single player games man

combat log more important than the terrible optimization that causes 5 fps Ilum fights, not to mention all the additional PvP bugs.

as if you need a combat log in this game's PvE. you can faceroll through all content, stop whining.
