    I'm glad there's no parser...I lived by parser back when I did raid/alliance stuff in other games and I was usually in the top two or three for DPS, but it's so stressful and just opens so many doors for elitest ppl to seperate themselves from those that they view as useless or worthless players, when we're all just having fun playing a game, no one is useless or worthless cuz of what a stupid parse says.

    And if you fail and waste all the time you spent collecting popsets because someone was just having fun playing their own way!?

    I agree that having numerical proof that someone is worthless does not make them worthless. This isn't Heisenberg's FFXI. It is entirely possible to measure something without affecting it.

    That said, if they're worthless with or without the parser, why not get numerical proof?

    Some of the better linkshells I've done events with use multiple people parsing during profitable events (like Dynamis) and give bonuses to the top healer and DD, then arbitrarily pick an MVP (often a support job or something like a puller). It isn't as wasteful as you'd think, and people don't afk nearly as much.

    there should be some wiggle room in the system. a DD zerging 5-10% less hard is prolly not gonna cause a failure against 99% of the stuff in this game. then any time anyone would attempt that 1% they'd gather the best they could beforehand.

    but for a lot of stuff... we all hold back anyway. so as not to ruby, or give time for th/procs and so on.

    best example i can come up with in my experience is my war. if i sub sam and try i can put up some pretty sweet numbers. the problem is nowadays... if i do so.... i'm a dick? it's to the point where i feel like i should just go back to /nin so i can sneak/invis myself and pick up the dagger procs.


    back ON topic, i wouldn't be totally against a parser i guess... but.. remember when PvP was introduced? all i ever saw that do was start endless pissing contests until everyone eventually stopped caring about PvP entirely. i could see a lot of "mines bigger" going on if there was an ingame parser. still, could be fun to fiddle with. healthy competition is one thing, d-bag cool kids who rattle on after every mob about that extra 2% dmg they did is another.

    i suppose my final verdict relies on how the community at large reacts to such a tool.

    People stopped caring about PvP because it was never developed. It's pretty much PvE gerry rigged so players can fight each other. Abilities, spells and equipment are all designed to be used on monsters or groups of monsters. When you turn and use them on other players everything gets out of whack.

    on topic though,
    pls to be updating UI? kthx. Tired of menu dancing and scrolling through tiny lists.

    But the official screenshot system doesn't allow for you to take pictures of your chat log.

    Yeah, man! where do you think those hilarious screenshots you enjoy come from?

    hint: it rhymes with " Indower"

    You're supposed to take a camera and take a pic of your screen, obviously.

    You can screenshot the chatlog just fine in the official windowed mode. :P

    EDIT: Doesn't work for 360 or PS2 though. Not like you can really use windower on those anyway.

    As far as I'm concerned, S-E would lose me as a paying customer if parsers EVER became an official part of this game. It's bad enough that these so-called "pro" gamers feel the need to outdo everyone by .01% using Windower gear change macros or label entire jobs as "useless" because "The parser said so". I can only imagine what these egomaniacs would do if they could see other people's stats. I'd be surprised if GMs didn't go on strike because of the skyrocketing call volume that would ensue.

    Any tool that can be used for exclusionary purposes doesn't need to exist at all, much less officially. Get it out and let people play the game for the game's own sake.
