hey 
I started this game this week and so far this is one of the better MMORPGs out there. Love the style and I often heard the community is awsome Also the people here on reddit are very helpfull and kind. 
I have a concern though, regarding my expectations. I played DD some time ago in another MMORPG. The main reason for me to play DD is, that I have the responsibility to deliver my best, depending on my eq. The tank has the responsibility to get the mobs off the party, the healer has the responsibility to keep everyone alive - and the DD should deliver his best damage output.
Now I read that in FFXIV there are not damage meters. While a less competitive environment could be a positive influence on the community, I feel like it is also a bit... demotivating for a DD?
Maybe this is only my opinion, so don't judge me only on that. But without a proper way to measure my own value as a DD and therefore as a party member I don't really have insight on my own performance. And beside having no proper incentive for improvement, which is already an important component, I would imagine that I would feel replaceable and not like I carry any responsibility. (beside not being exhausting to the healer) And tbh, a small grain of competitiveness would also be very beneficial to the feel of progression right?
Do the lack of value measuring demotivates you sometimes? Do you would love to have any way to determine if your damage needs improvement? Do you miss some competitive elements to grow?
Thx, I appreciate your experience
