On that first day the owner of the business gave him some instructions to stack some boxes on one wall of the stock room and then left for a time. When he returned the young man had stacked the boxes, but In a haphazardly fashion. The owner showed his disapproval and said to the young man, "Why have you not stacked the boxes neatly and where you can see the labels?" The young man replied "You didn't tell me to do it that way."
The owner smiled then and continued. "Since it is the first day of your first job I will share a secret with you that will serve you the rest of your life." "In whatever endeavor you perform, always do it with excellence. Even if it is only stacking boxes. Now let's restack these boxes with excellence."
There is nothing wrong with players in a game trying for excellence. A DPS meter is a tool for this.
Like I said before. Am I suppose to bake them some cookies for their "bragging rights?" How would you feel if you were busting your ass off for weeks and possible months grinding vMA for that sharpen inferno staff, and yet some player who happen to play vMA once manage to get the inferno staff on the first try? You wouldn't feel so good knowing that someone is rubbing it in your face?HatchetHaro wrote: »Bragging rights. If you're offended by how good they are, git gud.

DPS numbers are progression. DPS milestones (20k, 30k, 40k) provide competition among DPS players. It's the same as when you finally get that last piece of divines armor and you link it to you guild to celebrate. For many players, they have gear, they have CP, they have achievements, so working on pushing DPS numbers is content for them.
Ofc, it can be abused, and that's annoying...

Also the "git gud" is irreverent in this game considering the fact that your DPS consist of having good gear, and that good gear consist of grinding a particular dungeon/Trials until the cows come home.

When I find any divines pieces that I happen to look for I don't publish them in public knowing full well that I'm going to be getting bombarded by players who seeks the same item. Some players are very persistent, and even offer gold to buy the item. Most of the time I don't even want to be dealing with this nonsense so I don't give them ammo to pester me

You do know that you can create separate chat channels, yes?lolo_01b16_ESO wrote: »Well, posting your dps in chat is an easy way to save it and analyze it after you're done with the dungeon. Or would you prefer it if your group mates would stop after every boss fight to write down their dps manually?

I cannot stand the term git gud, first of all it looks immature, yea I get it comes from dark souls but not everyone plays it or cares for it. And the git gud does not even make sense in a gear based game anyways, what you mean is git gear.

I don't have the addon, because I don't want to see other peoples loot. I find it kinda intrusive lol but I've grown used to have my loot exposed... luckily I usually don't need anything, so I freely ask if anyone wants any of my loot.

Yes I'm a PC player and yes I'm fully aware that players do use the addon that allows them to view players loot. I even had players ask me for an item that I haven't yet released to the chat. I don't give them any satisfaction whatsoever. I'm a dog trainer in RL... From my experience in training dogs... if you reward bad behavior by giving a dog table scraps from the dinner table then the dog will think that it's OK to beg for food and salivate while you're having dinner.

We just nuked the boss in 25 seconds without breaking a sweat. It is a game and I am competitive. It's pretty much the only challenge good DPS have anymore: against each other.
Also, part of the reason there are good DPS in the first place is because they are constantly cirtical of their own builds and use DPS parses as ways to improve their build and their gameplay.
DPS meters do serve a purpose other than stroking e-peens.
But thank you for assuming we are all egotistical jerks.

So... shortly said... you confirm it's a pure ego thing aimed at showing the "good players" ' "awesomeness" by trying to make "less good players" feel small... ???
Actually, you confirm the OP's intuition.
Besides, resumes are for jobs, this is a game. Of course you're free to take the game as you want, but that doesn't mean you're entitled to judge others who take it more lightly, more cooperatively and less competitively.
also : pro-tip : if you don't want to pull 80% of the DPS by yourself nor to carry people... don't PUG !!!
