I have asked for a DPS parser to be added to the game in another post not too long ago. I got a lot of pushback from the community for various reasons. The biggest being the fear of harrassment and exclusion from events due to comparisons between player DPS.
I would like to make the argument that this is happening already regardless of the fear. This information is available and is in fact being used to limit player participation. Just last night a player in a raid I was in, was monitoring realtime DPS and making vocal comment and comparisons between players. This information should be either not accessible to anyone or made available to everyone. I say make it available to everyone. I think also, that information should be limited to your own. You should not be able to parse anyone else’s data and doing so should be a violation of terms of use and subject to disciplinary action if reported.
Being able to see your own DPS should be available to each player as a means to improve and to see if their play style is working or not without having to purchase thousands of dollars of additional equipment in order to do so. I think this is a no brainer.
