dps meters are toxic.

Yes.

Looking at it holistically it’s very clear that overall such features do far more harm than any niche of good a small percentage of players tout they do. I understand their benefit and have used them in the past, but I’m not for a moment foolish enough to even try and convince anyone that they provide more positives than negatives to a game.

Additionally, personally I think it’s ridiculous to even suggest such a mechanic is now needed, and base such an argument solely around one tiny part of the game: Raids.

With raids being solely a dps check a screen that shows how much dps our dps’s are doing is almost required. We need to be able to see who is pulling their weight and who is not so we can adjust the party accordingly. Without such a feature a lot of time is wasted not knowing who is actually contributing to the party.

Wouldn’t the best way for reducing the influx of gold being them stop selling it for real money? The economy is based on them being able to throw an infinite amount of gold into the economy at any given time. Thus to balance that we don’t get rewarded for anything.

You should make it atleast save your spot in the map for five minutes if your going to release a game that crashes constantly.

Fix your game Arenanet.
