It's a simple crutch. What is "So amusing" that people who claim to be "Hardcore" can live WITHOUT this device. It's like they are unable to be aware what is going on around them. It's simple you look around you and see who's standing where and casting what. If you notice one spell is doing more damage, then spam that spell.
But NO, people won't be happy untill they get their recount and threat meters. In my point of view it's what killed wow. Just because your a top DPS, doesn't make you "leet" you could be standing behind the boss and firing shot's. While the Healer dies or you take threat from the tank.
Being at the top doesn't make you good. This tool will be abused to call out people in the game. It seem's like SWTOR is working just fine without add on's right now. Yes Indeed I think it's going to be good. We don't need the "leets" from wow using recount and booting people purely based on the number's.
We did it in everquest. I'm saying if you need "numbers" then you might not be as good as you thought. And if you can't progress through a raid. Recount shouldn't be something that stops you. Player's lose sight they are in control. Why not make an add on to play game for you..oh wait they do DBM.
This game doesn't have recount and will not at launch. I think people have been able to get by without it. What do you need recount at level 1 for? they made it so you level up quickly and your stronger then people facing you. Do you really need a meter to tell you that.
