How about 200 dps difference at lvl 80 (which is around 25-30% difference) than the male characters?

Yes there is a dps meter, yes there is a place you can upload logs to see who does what in a 'raid'. We did measure it and it's particularly depressing as a female dps class that's for sure.

Along with a few other major bugs in the end game, really this is what forced me to quit, I'm not going to roll another class or gender and level to 80 just because funcom are stupid to know this would make a difference. Hell this was reported back in BETA about 2 months before release and still wasn't looked at.
