This argument about dps meters is a moot point anyways because BW confirmed they will be added.

To be honest in a random dungeon group he has a point, you shouldn't be a dick to random person who you will never see again most likely, and if you do then you know to avoid him. However in raids where excellence is required you definitely have every right to criticize the people in them for not pulling their weight.

Well, so much for sleeping....

So how about some humor....

I demand a damage meter that is made from flowers and smells like cookies or else I am going to emo-rage quit EVE online and come here and pee in a corner!

But I do agree with you one thing, the raiding scene today is nothing of what it was before. Players demand "fast-food" style raid content, and honestly I am not knocking it. Because the burnout effect of raiding super hard core in EQ1 was amazing high and extremely stressful. Recruiters worked overtime to fill in the gaps. It is not easy to keep a raid attendance of 7-10 hours a day almost 6 days a week. And I could never do that again.

Also, I played and raiding with DPS Meters (3rd party Apps) and I used it and actually loved it because I am super competitive and want to be the best (top of the parse). However, that doesn't make a great all around player. Just makes you a good dpser. Want to be a great player, and not just some dime-a-dozen top dper. Then learn everything about your class and be better then other people of that class. Then work your way to being the best player in your guild.
I'm not saying you need these apps to be a great player, but I am saying that they help you to become better. Personally I don't care if they put them into the game, but I would love to have just a dps meter, it was really the only mod I used outside of actionbar/bag mods(which would also be great in this game).

Just throwing yourself endlessly at a boss until you figure it out (you and 70 other people) doesn't make it hard; It just makes it time consuming, tedious, and stressful based on a lot of reason other than game mechanics. Granted, WoW raids are a joke for the most part now a days, especially outside of hardmodes, but I don't think anyone really wants to go back to EQ style raids, but a compromise would be great. I'm most certainly not trying to play Star WoWs(get it?), but to say that WoW hasn't made vast improvements in the genre is idiotic.

Edit: Also, if you do want to play a game with out mods that is SUPER hard, EQ is still around! ~10 years and still going strong! It's still a great game, I still log on every now and then to mess around and talk to old friends. It is still there.

I never said I would yell or treat them like crap, I would tell them nicely look I have a set amount of time because I have kids im sorry but I dont have the time to carry you right now. I would than tell him at another time I would be willing to work with them to make them more able to carry their own weight.

Officially TERRIFIED. I'm just going to put this one down to sleep deprivation, okay?
