Why do people get mad when DPS is posted?

[Poisenbery]

Are you upset that your incompetence is being pointed out?

EDIT:
It seems to me that the biggest gripe with posting DPS is the fact that most players get very upset if they're not #1

Not everyone has a DPS build. It's perfectly acceptable to have low DPS, but getting upset over that is petty and immature.

Edit2: Insulting someone for having low DPS is completely unacceptable. That is not what this post is about. I was talking about POSTING damage numbers, not being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about them. Major difference.

Not everyone wants to have a ♥♥♥ measuring contest.

so...posting a metric is somehow a form of bragging?

If it isn't why do you feel the need to post it?

so are you saying that someone posting damage numbers completely ruins your enjoyment?

Yes you spamming numbers and raging at the Hunting Horn main because they saved you from carting for the third time on non-tempered Maggy instead of doing raw DPS which you focus on and still managed to do 1/3rd my DPS while I'm playing drunk tends to bring the mood down.

if your enjoyment in a game can be ruined by looking at a number, you need help

Id install damage meters if they weren't so difficult to do, solely cause whenever my mate and i play and something breaks we always say "i did that" and then I'd have proof that it was in fact me, that did that

Do you post that metric when you're 4th place? I bet not.

3 Reasons:

1) Because 99/100 times you're showing me doing more than triple your damage after you carted twice and I don't need you to be trying to cover up that fact by crying at our Hunting Horn main for being at the bottom of the DPS meter because they pulled triple duty keeping you from carting the third time.

2) Because going back over 20 years now to the earliest days of WoW when DPS meter addons first started to get mainstream popularity in games, it was always considered rude to spam chat with numbers nobody actually cares about because if they did care about them, they'd have the addon themselves.

3) Because you don't actually know how to read DPS meters, that's why you're posting the results in to chat. All DPS tracks is raw per-person output. It doesn't consider down time from when you carted the second time by pulling aggro and then aiming the attack at our charge blade user who was about to hit a wound but now has to recover from stun because you made them get hit, and it doesn't count for support playstyles who focus on keeping everybody else buffed and healed for their contribution instead of raw damage output.

Use the meter to gauge your own performance and get number tracking for builds. Spamming chat with numbers un-prompted makes you look like a douchebag, especially since they never mean what you think they mean and they actually show you being useless to the team.

these are not valid excuses for getting angry.
If someone has 3x your DPS, so what? why do you care so much?

That's what I'm asking you.

When you spammed your DPS meter in the last Hunt we were together in you were raging at our Hunting horn main for doing the least DPS of the group even though they saved you from triple carting and when I pointed out I did triple your DPS you called me a slur and then rage quit.

Now I find out you're here posting a thread about it trying to lie and say we were the upset ones when nobody said a word in chat until you started spamming the numbers that showed you floor-tanking the entire hunt.

100 hours and you almost triple cart against untempered maggy.

Yikes dude.

if you use it that is ok but once you post the DPS in chat your taking a chance at getting a online ban as capcom don't like it so if people report you you may get banned but that is up to you

It seems to me that the biggest gripe with posting DPS is the fact that most players get very upset if they're not #1

Not everyone has a DPS build. It's perfectly acceptable to have low DPS, but getting upset over that is petty and immature

all you need is reframework and it'd drag and drop from there

You posted this thread because you rage quit a hunt with me when you tried to yell at the hunting horn main who saved your life repeatedly and I pointed out I did triple your damage.

Calm down, bro.
