Way to kill raiding and therefore the game. Garbage idea

They can and do. Many party finders have requirements above the minimum. Without parses and “illegal tools” you’d have no way to prove you’re better than your shoulder pads.
Besides as others have pointed out, these tools are ALREADY in game. Anyone gatekeeping in this manner already has them.
We used ACT. ACT came out in around '00-'01, in Everquest. It was designed to show proof to the devs that the warrior class had too low of a dps compared to the other two tanks. All we had was a taunt button, autoattack, a kick and we could throw a stone. While the other two tanks had the same plus spells, so we could not hold aggro as well as them and we were being bared ftom raids because we couldn't preform as well as the other two classes. (Class were being closed out of raids before ACT was even a thing?? Surely not, only that sort of toxic behavior is caused by the evilness of ACT..)Devs said nah you guys are good so we had to get proof. Then once ACT came out people seen it could be a good way to track personal and groups dps. So it's been around for almost as long as mmos.
Man, some of these anti-in game meters posts are just... so exhausting to read. Combating anecdotal evidence with anecdotal evidence does nothing because "feelings and only my experience matters", and the leaps of logic can't be argued with because no logic actually exists because, again, feelings.
Players owning multiple houses, exploited not intended.
FC's owning multiple FC houses, exploited not intended.
Single member FC's, exploited not intended.
And the players who have exploited these systems always claim that if it wasn't intended they wouldn't have included a method to obtain this.
And you honestly think players wouldn't exploit an in game parser? :rolleyes:
I can just imagine the forums blowing up if they were to ever include an in game parser and someone gets banned because of it, they would claim that if it wasn't intended to be used like that it wouldn't have been put in the game.
"Being toxic towards someone in extremely casual dungeon or alliance raid runs is totally not toxic at all" eyeroll
Players like you are deserving of perma bans.
As long as you clear the mechanics and do passable dps to clear the dps check I don't care if someone isn't breaking the top tier numbers... People who get caught up in that stuff are usually crap at the game...which was proven in another thread where the person you quoted was shown to mess up mechanics constantly lol. He can have all the "leet dps" he wants, but it means nothing if he keeps wiping the party by failing mechanics.
Seriously fellas, stop feeding FireMage direct responses
