Some people will cry how their crits aren't fair as viper did best dps. Then I had plenty of people that would want a fight reset if they messed their starting rotation or died at mid fight, even though it was still a clear.

Plus people love logs for savages / ultimates where you get kicked if your logs are empty / hidden / or not good.

Aggro meter watching is the bane of my existence, an actual dps meter would just steal even more focus from fights.

that doesnt fit into the "every raider is toxic" mindset some people here have tho

@OP
No.
I've seen the aftermath of ACT too many times.

God this is dumb.

Look, ACT aside (for whoever uses it, god speed if you do), any parser in any game is only useful on a boss where everyone has the ability to min/max their rotations up to, and including, a countdown timer.

* IF * YOU * DON'T * UNDERSTAND * THIS * YOU * DON'T * UNDERSTAND * DPS * PARSERS

And the problem is that the average idiot doesn't understand this.

So then idiots think that parsers mean ANYTHING in a dungeon pull.

- They don't understand downtime
- They don't understand # of enemies
- They don't understand single-target fights
- They don't understand anything

THAT'S what Yoshi P is preventing.

Dumb, toxic behavior because people can't understand simple math.

I applaud this game for not allowing parser add-ons to be part of this game BECAUSE people who don't understand it are just going to find dumb reasons to be toxic for no good reason just like World of Warcraft.

Many people here claim toxicity, but what's odd is that its used by the devs. If you are being bullied for dps / hps / threat/ mit in your dungeons and clears then find nicer groups, the problem is not the tool I have to get off a 3rd party website, which the dev's trust but sweep under the rug as a hush, hush to play favorites with certain mods that directly involved gameplay tuning, like ACT.

So why not implement it? If I wana get into raids I need to start my parse somewhere, and since its totally legal to do, by virtue of Yoshi P, add it into the game.

Yes indeed, this thread has no purpose because it's not happening

They've already implemented Stone, Sea, Sky to help with personal improvement in a non-toxic environment.

The problem is despite *you* not intending to use it to push players out of content, we ALL know it absolutely will be used that way by players. And the devs already chose years ago dealing with that harassment dragon was not worth the trouble and have built the game with players not having parsers in mind.

and even if i see a dps doing less damage than a healer in casual content- im not gonna xbox 360 style call them out with every slur.
i think people are way too sensitive when it comes to this stuff

I just said what the issue was. People will gatekeep this is not a debatable point.

And yet they put in an animation that makes it public when you mess up your ninja rotation with a bunny dunce cap. Kind of one hand not knowing what the other is doing.
