If the Ion and his Dev team came out and said that they are removing DPS meters from the game due to the negative social effects it has and understand the feedback from the people who enjoy such tools yet this is about the improvement and health of the more broader game overall.
I would understand, as a person who really enjoys the use of DPS meters I would of course dislike the fact that a personal core part of what I enjoy is being removed for the betterment of the entire game, and due to that I would most likely try to find another game to play since the direction the devs are taking is clear.
Meanwhile we see wannabe elitists to be the definition of the entitled Gamer that believes the game should be solely made for them and nobody else
Ion quite literally said “the higher up you go the more that bothers you, we understand that feedback, it isnt a surprise to us but across the totality of the game and the broader audience "
Which means they understand the feedback from the people who enjoy being optimal at everything yet their focus is the broader audience. Therefore the optimal at everything crowd is irrelevant and ignored because that goes against their vision.
That should have made things crystal clear, meta slaves are not the broader audience, your feedback is understood but irrelevant, the game is going to a direction you dont like and that’s what is happening whenever you like it or not, I would suggest either leaving or adapting. learn to deal with the fact that the world DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND WHAT YOU WANT.
Dps trackers for me help me improve and see what i should focus on more then others. It also helps me help people out who ask why they are doing so little dps or helps me find out who in my group needs help outside of raids or M+ to get them up to snuff.
isnt the entitlement of non elitist crazier because the people pushing are willing to sacrifice a few options to make the chance at failure lower whilst the people just playing the build they like increasing the odds of failure by a slight margin and still expecting to complete the same content?
Like I’m pretty sure in some RPGs if you build your character horribly the game is way harder
He doesn’t have to be optimal for anything . Do you think they are going to tell the guild leader no you can’t go because you made a wrong covenant choice.
