I'm sure the 5k DPS folks have an excuse anyways. If some people discover they are better off being a hero in normal instead of fodder in vet, they might come to accept that - privately, on their own.
There is an addon like this for PC, CombatMetrics, but even that only shows your own numbers and group's total numbers. I believe another addon, FTC, used to show everyone's numbers but people went up in an uproar - whaaaa, someone can see my private numbers, what is this?!
Thing is, we have some people pulling 50k dps and others pulling 5k in dps roles. ZOS feels the 5k people are fragile little beings who cannot handle the truth(and they're damn right according to the forums) and instead of being encouraged to improve their performance they should be kept in ignorant bliss in regards to it so that they keep buying crown crates and whatnot without stressing out and ragequitting. Therefore, ZOS says we cannot know other people's dps.
You can still gauge people's performance pretty well with Combat Metrics though, like if your group has group dps of 30k and you yourself are pulling 25k then it's not hard to guess that the other dps is...underperforming. Unfortunately consoles are getting the short end of the stick there and with ZOS' policy, the chances of something like that being implimented in the base game are in the negative numbers field

Everything that is wrong with the idea that end of dungeon stats would somehow benefit the game, all compiled into one single post.

[Snip] privacy. 5k players deserve the shame.
I mean Combat Metrics exists and lets you get a self breakdown for individual fights, and also shows what percentage of the groups damage you dealt etcThough it can make you despair, when you get fights like this, when you are on a 'healer'
But I would like an option to see a breakdown of stats at the end of a dungeon run

What's wrong with the idea? All I read were valid points.
It gives the 5k DPS guys that are getting kicked from dungeons and are all over these forums, a good reason why they got kicked - Or, potentially stop them being kicked and actually help them progress; like anyone who already analyses their Metrics would and does. (These are the Master Wizard type players that are likely to have cats and what not following them around the house they've spent 2 months building so I expect the crown's point is also fairly valid)
It gives the better players a challenge against one another and a tool to spot errors and improve, which I expect PC players with access to metrics, already do.
There's no reason not to add this, and whilst I appreciate some people might be embarrassed - That's healthy for a game like this - "and instead of being encouraged to improve their performance they should be kept in ignorant bliss in regards to it" couldn't be more real.
It wouldn't hurt ZOS to have access to this data either. In fact it'd probably help with their inability to balance quite significantly.
this is an elitist idea that will just cause more pain and grief to other players regardless of how good or bad they go.
terrible idea unless they only show you your stats and not the groups.
