The dreaded WoW has a DPS meter that tracks DPS of all party members and forms it into a bar that goes up the more damage each person does. This Meter can be reset for boss kills and such. I thought it would be very neat to have in EQ, resetting it for say a main boss in a raid force or just to see who is puting out damage well in groups would be very nice for tracking Damage Done. If this isnt possible (and being that it hasnt happened yet i have to assume it isnt) i wonder if there is a Interface option that might be able to track normal mob by mob DPS much like EQcompanion or Pixie does... if there is a way to do it i might request a dev look into doing it and i know myself as well as hundreds of others would be happy to donate... hell you would get 5 bucks from 50 people just in my guild without a second thought... Thanks to anyone willing to give either idea a try! Vandil Izer Raid Leader of Haunted Dreams Drinal Server

Sony tolerates stuff like Yalp since its a totaly standalone parser, the are iffy about macro software like MyMacros or bundled software from gameing keyboards. They are totaly intolerant of any thing that live parses the game and then feeds it back into the game control like MacroQuest. I agree it would be totaly harmless, but I am sure sony would feel it would go against gameplay since they wont even give us a way to recieve numerical data on other players or NPC's. Would be a really cool thing to have in the UI though.

However, eqwatcher and log parsers can pretty much do that, and in theory they're allowed by the EULA as they just use the logs and report on what's happening. They're not actually adding any functionality that shouldn't be possible (like showEQ). If you're curious, read the EQwatcher EULA page.
