Rankings - DPS vs DPS effective

As you may have noticed, we're now publishing player rankings on World of Logs. There's still much work to do, but the first thing that you'll notice is that the DPS / HPS numbers won't match exactly with what you saw in the report.

On the rankings, the only thing that counts is the effective DPS, defined as damage done / fight duration. On the damage done page however, DPS is damage done / player active time. We want to rank by your share of the work done in the fight and filter out the people with high burst damage but very long idle times, and this was the best way to do it.

We'll be adding DPS(e) to the other pages later, so you can see both the DPS by five second rule and DPS effectively on the whole fight.
