Just 1-2 quick things:
- On Damage Meters accuracy, SW Stats and Recap produce the same results as Recount, Violation and WWS. They all do not count self-inflicted damage through seals as damage output and give the same numbers as Recount.
- On healing, the numbers are vastly divergent and no coherence can be observed between any of the surveyed meters so far. There is no coherent way to ascertain which tool is closest to what was really produced.
- Changed the banner logo for horde on the site. The previous one was choppy and ugly.
- Why did the Exodar crash? The question is, perhaps, why did it make to Azeroth in one piece at all? I mean come on, if the Draenei were trying to play the space faring race in this kind of horribly conceived spaceships, no wonder they are on the brink of extinction. Most of their race probably didn’t perish at the hands of their foes but in freak space exploration accidents. Whoever designed this thing should be exposed as a public testimonial demonstrating that drugs are bad.
- Truth of the matter, what happened was probably that when the helmsman’s shift was over, the pilot from the following shift never found the cockpit of the thing, and the helmsman simply fell asleep of exhaustion after trying to keep his flying anvil under control for 72 hours straight. The poor tentacle-face is probably still sound asleep somewhere, as nobody actually managed to remember the way to the helm. True story.

Let me guess: You’re not a huge fan of Spacegoat Town? I swear to Elune, I get lost going from the AH to the bank there.
There’s a bank in there?
Totally glad my shaman is past 20 and bound in other parts of the world now. Spacegoatship and Silvermoon City are total polar opposites: worst designed capital vs best designed one.
Healing is a tricky topic. As noted before WWS has less information to calculate overhealing hence it’s total healing/overhealing will be off compared to in-game damage meters. But there are many other complications with healing. Specifically some damage meters try to handle LifeBloom, EarthShield and Prayer of Mending. This is at least partially possible but it will depend on the specific way it’s handled how the healing shows. Given that it’s hard to guarantee accurate tracking for LB, ES and PoM no damage meter can likely be fully accurate currently.
