[POLL] Damage Meters

Wow, look at all the elitist estrogen all over the place.

Amazing how something like this can make all the trolls froth at the mouth. And people wonder why there is so much hate towards meters.

Never said I can't "pull my own weight". When I wrote "100dps" I wanted to pick a small number to emphasize, that there are people being nit-picky, and that insult you for every small and minor mistake you make. There's people in MMOs, who will monitor everything you do, and comment on it, even when it's not neccessary. In other MMOS - ok let's just say WoW, people often blame the dps, when the problem lies elsewhere. And of course there's so many situations, where dps needs to be interpreted correctly, like what are the circumstances. This game should not be about whether your dps is 10% higher than the other people in your group. I enjoyed it very much in Lotro. Nobody really cares about dps. If something doesn't work, you try again and don't point fingers at people for not doing the right amount of damage, when the problem most likely is bad coordination. It's much more free and much more fun.

BUT, like I said, I have no problem with everybody being able to monitor their own dps, stats or whatever.

Meters are a must, no reason not to have them.

Im a min/maxer I need to see if what im doing is the best way I can be doing it. I am for damage meters.

There is something called enrage timer. Tanks and healers don't cause that. You can't tell a tank or a healer "do more damage".

If you get kicked for doing a significantly small amount of damage, you probably don't want to play with those people anyway. Nobody is going to kick you for doing "100 less dps" (speaking from amt of dps in cataclysm)
