I think FF14 has a fairer system. You can use recount add on for private use for your own performance but you can't use it to make fun of people in instances.
Wait, I thought you were pissed at FF14 ? Honeymoon back on ?
group wipes anyways because they're tunneling on the boss and the adds are up too long.
It's a problem of the addons because DPS are too busy trying to push out big numbers to actually pay attention to the mechanics of the fight. You can't do both unless you're wearing the next expansion's raid gear, and the next expansion hasn't even come out yet.
It has nothing to do with 'effort'
Since I can't do that at level
Don't ever call me stupid. Ever. That doesn't get you very far.

If you raid by watching the meters you are a fool and will die.
People that actually do content use Logs/Recount/Skada to check their performance and overall progress across fights. I personally use mine to check my Enrage uptime, Interrupts, damage taken (by source), and my uptime; its how I get better at my role as a DPS and how I evaluate to get better.
What convinced you that ' because DPS are too busy trying to push out big numbers to actually pay attention to the mechanics of the fight'? You do understand what progression is, right?
Can you explain to me how next expansion's raid gear factor's into this picture?
Since I can't do that at level without copious amounts of stress, plus locked-up wrists and knuckle pain from all that DPS-centered button mashing, I wait till I can solo the raid in question.
Well generally..I've reached the view that we do need dps meters. Without them, it would be much harder for them to balance classes and things like that.
At the same point though..it's generally about not being an !@#. There is no need to be rude to someone that's underperforming, how hard is it to simply say, 'look, I'm sorry man, you're a bit too low at the moment, we can't really keep you in this group sorry' and suggest they go to icy veins and learn their class more, rather than just being so rude about it?

I can, he posted it.Since I can't do that at level without copious amounts of stress, plus locked-up wrists and knuckle pain from all that DPS-centered button mashing, I wait till I can solo the raid in question.
I bolded the part that explains exactly why he believes the above.
In my experience, every time I tried to follow the mechanics of a fight my DPS would suffer dramatically
It's not about whether or not anyone sucks, it's about the tuning of the fight and how good your gear is.
If you're just getting into raiding, even if it's LFR level, your gear is NEVER good enough.
so feel free to downvote me again
That has nothing to do with it. Re-read what I posted after she did for the REAL answer.
