Moved from another forum section: BioWare, If addon support is not a top priority at the moment, please at least develop an in-game DPS and healing meters as soon as possible. When most guilds start raiding in January, this information will be very important in deciding who is doing their job and who is slacking. The DPS/Healing meters can be very basic and just include the persons overall damage or healing per second and no further breakdown and display of the information is needed at this time. Considering it should take one of your developers about 2 hours to simply create the box, make the user clients display the damage done to the mob by what player and in what amount of time, this is a fairly small request and it will make a very big game impact to raiders. To the forum users: even though there is no combat log, the clients are still receiving updates as to what character is using what abilities and how much damage is being done, its just a matter of dividing that number by time in combat and displaying it.

While the game will have countless social aspects, there is also going to be an end game raiding aspect to the game. In an end game raiding encounter, it is vital to know who is doing their job and who is standing there only using 1 low damage move because they have no real idea on how to play the game. Without a damage/healing meter many of the guilds that actually wish to defeat the nightmare raid encounters will simply stop playing due to the inability to weed out the bad players, or they will leave because you don't need to find good players since the encounters would be so easy where you can just "autoattack" it down. DPS/Healing meters is a way to standardized what kind of performance level each person should be at, and makes it very easy to determine who is holding raids back. In regards to your comment about comparing 1 role to another role, IE a tank vs a ranged DPS, that would be pointless and if your kicking your tank because he has low damage....you're doing it wrong.
