The internet promotes bad behaviour. For the sake of the children, we should shut it down for good.

Unless it's a "ruin only" smn, I'm not sure how you can achieve such a low dps without purposely spending full GCDs doing nothing. If anything, I'm impressed by the willpower of these players. It must be harder to be that bad than to perform on a good level on a regular basis.

It was a Bard, can't say I know enough about the class to say how it was done. Considering it was Bismarck Extreme, I have to assume they've been farming for the mount for quite some time and resorted to watching Netflix/TV while clicking 1-1-1-1 over and over.

But then people would still whine and complain that they paid for the game and the post game challenge fights are to hard and need to be nerfed.

I've played games that had built in dps/hps meters before. The casual community of those games don't even recognize it exists for the most part, I mean is the ff14 community actually scared of a dps meter? Really guys? xD

It's not so much people being scared of a parser, but what a parser will do to the community.

Already people fail simple mechanics. Adding in another distraction that the community will; almost certainly, expect everyone then to use will only cause harm to those that already have trouble with said mechanics only to add a new distraction on top of that. Then there's the toxic element, yada yada yada.

If one were ever to be implemented it should only be available to those in a FULLY preset party. If there's so much as a single random person in the group; from DF obviously, the parser should be inaccessible, therefore cutting some of the toxicity.

I'm not surprised it was a bard actually, now before anyone jumps down my throat, the reason I say that is that bards and machinists are the only classes that can completely disable their auto attacks, blm can do over 700 with just blizzard as Kuwagami noted and smn garuda can contribute enough DPS that ruin two spam alone should bring them over 500 in full 210.

I don't know if it's really a distraction insofar as people shouldn't be looking at it during a fight, but I can see what you're getting at if you mean that people will worry about it and thus possibly fail a mechanic because they're thinking too much about the meters. Not thinking about it is something that comes with time and practice, though, like most things that cause similar anxiety.

Being able to do mechanics means nothing if you dont have the DPS numbers to back it up.

Tbh, other games I've played with parsers have about the same amount of people ignoring mechanics, so I consider this just another false arguement...

Also, I don't know if you realize this, but parsers track more than just damage out, the also track damage in, healing out etc. So it's extremely obvious if someone is not dodging stuff in favor of a little more dps. Mechanics will still need to be done, so people will be expected to do them, and still get called out for not doing it.

Of course the odd person will get away with it, they already do, it's not the parsers fault.

Yep, it's also nice for being sure what killed you or knowing when someone is using their buffs and such.
