Parser / Dps Meter!

[Karbuncle]

What in gods name would a parser have to do with GM calls?

Are you implying the people who don't bother gearing themselves properly or skilling up their weapons would cry to GM's when they're booted because parser results? If so, yah, I could maybe see that happening. The type of player who refuses to progress in any way through gear or weaponry are generally the type who have GMs on speed-dial.

But Honestly, an In-game parser would likely be abused by the arrogant to weed out the weak, Which is a bad thing for most players, because to be perfectly frank, most players are bad. But at the same time, it can be positive, and help every player learn their current standing and strive for improvement.

It would also help some players test certain gearsets.

It has good and bad, unfortunately its been said they have no interest in implementing one, so arguing is a moot point, would you not agree? Oh well. Conversation is what keeps forums interesting.

I don't even think the argument against it is an argument at all. The elitist jerks are already weeding out the weak with third party parsers, how would an official parser be any different to what it is now?

And even if, there's a simple fix to that: simply let everyone only see their own parse results. That way no one can tell how good anyone else is, and still has all (well, most) the benefits for testing purposes. Comparing parse results is almost useless anyway, because of all of the disruptive factors involved in it (some of which were mentioned before).

blahblahblah And even if, there's a simple fix to that: simply let everyone only see their own parse results. Blahblahblah

Thats actually a brilliant idea. Every problem ever brought up has just been solved by this.

We can lock the thread now :P (no im being serious, That solution would be phenomenal)
