In Game DPS Meter

[Tiggy]

I'll quote myself since you only quoted the first part of my comment, in which I made fun of you for being a douche.

This point still stands, all of your ideas about in game anything, will be based off of internal parsing data.
So all of the cons that come with that, apply to all of your ideas.

Obviously there would need to be some sort of server side parsing to do calculations if we did the test dummy idea, but that doesn't mean it is exposed to the users at all. It can be entirely server side with only the DPS number itself being paassed to the client. Meaning it can't be abused like you say because the data simply wouldn't be client side to do so. Just because a specific technology is required at it's core does not immediately make the specific use case and specific implantation automatically bad. They are not one in the same as the implementation wraps a UI and useful functionality around a few core algorithms. So simply put no, all of the cons that come with parsers do not come with our ideas that we are discussing.

Also, if you would read the thread as I keep saying, you would see that we've evolved into a discussion about solo guildhest like content where simply being able to pass the content could be considered the feedback we are looking for. This wouldn't require any parser what so ever. Negating every con that comes with parsing.

So please. If you aren't going to read the thread and give constructive ideas on the actual conversation I would say, once again, that we get it. You don't like it. You constantly telling us that over and over doesn't achieve anything other than to distract from a constructive conversation.

It's that people would use it to not take someone based on a number that is very subjective.

Not if the result is entirely personal and kept to the individual player, as we've been discussing all along. If it is not displayed publicly then no one can possibly use it to judge you. We addressed this idea a few pages back.

"Disclose self parser or kick. We have a party parser to expose liars." You'll see something along these lines all over party finder. There's no way around the cons of parsers unless it can't be used in instances.
