I think I've seen the light about DPS Meters. They really are necessary! How are we going to know who to ostracize and who to believe is the best person in the game so they can brag about the size of their e-peen without accurate recording instruments?!

But then I got to thinking. Some of the things that the meter can be used for need more in-depth information. Mystic healing, for example. The mystic won't get credit for dropping balls that aren't picked up, and the combat log shows that the healing originates from the player, not the mystic taking time to drop his balls -- something I'm certain a lot of those who support dps meters can relate to!

So I've got the solution. We need a tachometer. A fully functional, car-like (because everyone can drive, right?!) tachometer that records dps, healing, movement (in meters!), and most importantly, Actions Per Minute! A person with high Actions Per Minute (APM) is clearly the one taking care of the mystic's balls, and he deserves recognition for his skills. DPS alone simply won't cut it. Without a proper, full-on tachometer, one will never be able to improve their rapid-clicking ball handling skills.

So join me in the call for Tachometers! Because if something can be a tool, for -anyone-, then it needs to have it's own dashboard!

I thought it said tacometer :(

I want a gumball machine :(

On a related note, those Doritos Locos tacos are actually quite good if you haven't tried them. =)

An interactive app that, with every successful gathering of a mystics balls, puts a gumball in the machine to graphically represent your ball-handling skills.

BRILLIANT! Then you can show your friends just how good you are at grabbing balls by linking your gumball machine directly to your facebook account.

Gumballs on your facebook, by the people who brought you dps meters!

err.. i understand from the 2nd sentence that this is a joke topic, but a damage meter with healing capabilities would already have the option to reroute the orb's healing to the mystic.

i also read taco >.>;

But then it would be a gumball machine filled with only blue and orange balls... I like green :/

That's it EME, of all the things you could possibly do to make this game great no other than the legendary Taco Meter will make this game a true winner.
