I do Ogre lane in TD every day with your guild pretty much and I’ve never seen anyone call out people specifically for low DPS.

I run the meter and I see people do low DPS, run bad builds etc but I never say anything and I know people in the squad who also run meters but say nothing either.

I have to wonder how prevalent it really is and whether or not you’re simply exaggerating your claims of DPS meters creating toxicity.

Quite often I’ve seen (pre DPS meters) people talking about trash DPS because for example, ogre took 3 burns in a pug. That’s pretty common but I’ve never seen a specific “necro you did 1k damage on gerent wat are u doing”, like ever.

It’s always been the case in open world, 20% of the people do like 60% of the dps. Getting confrontational over that does nothing.

i dont think there’s much of an issue in open world play, out there no-one cares apart from meter watchers if someone is aoeing and getting big numbers or single targeting to keep on top of the fight, or throwing out boons, or healing, or removing condy etc etc.

Yeah, haven’t seen it in our TD runs. We have a great guild/group of regs that make up a big part of our fights.

So hey here is a whacky idea anet devs keep to your original promise of no adds ever and ban every player that is using them

Good thing DPS meters aren’t add-ons, they are overlays, completely different things.

same thing different package, both addones and “overlays” have the same functionality.

Perhaps you should just clarify that you want people who don’t play game the way you think it should be played to be banned then?

Or you could clarify that you’ll attack anything that gets in the way of your precious meter whether your argument makes sense or not.

lol if someone tried to call people out for dps in open world, I’d link [&AgF5LwAA] and say “kick me bruh…. oh wait. You can’t”

Raids are probably the only place where dps output is halfway relevant, and even that just to a very limited extent. When raid content can be done at less than 50% of the maximum, it’s anything but hard. Nevertheless, dps meters are a nice addition to the game. They provide quite some amusing moments in fractals when the tempest again fails to match 20% of my thief’s damage.
