[World_of_Warcraft_List] About DPS meters :) I like this guy's thoughts heehee

 

 
especially: 
 
Now, before you tune out completely and start sharpening the pitchforks, let me clarify. I understand and appreciate the positive uses for damage meters. I have Recount installed on all my characters and use it liberally. Here are the things damage meters are good for:
  1. Monitoring your own DPS.
  2. Using the meter to help you when tweaking specs, gear setups, or testing spell rotations.
  3. In raids.
Here are things damage meters should not be used for:
  1. Linking in party chat during a random PUG, without being asked to do so.
  2. Determining who's a good DPS and who isn't.
  3. Justifying a vote-kick.
I almost feel like I could distill this entire column down into one sentence: don't be a douche.

Seriously, that's pretty much how I feel about the topic. In my opinion, society (and by extension, WoW) is made up of two kinds of people: those who are jerkwads and those who aren't. The people who spam damage meters after every pull to point out that A.) they are awesome and B.) you are not -- those are jerkwads. I can't think of a single good reason for this behavior. It's counterproductive, it's mean, and it's stupid.
