In-Game Parser.

[Wildsprite]

A parser should be a mandatory starting point for any player

while I'm not against having an official parser I am against making them mandatory because I'm sorry that takes and turns a game into more of a job or chore. making something like that mandatory would kill this game. I'm against a mandatory parser period

Why is someone who didn't clear T5 until 2.3? and hasn't cleared T9 talking about raid difficulty? Can you explain that part to me?

you lost all credibility with me on this comment/question you are talking about raid content that the majority of the player base doesn't even want to do and I'm nost certain Lycelle is talking about Labyrinth of the Ancients/Syrcus Tower/World of Darkness which are infact considered raids.

Again, you continue to embrace mediocrity and shun any notion of not being utterly terrible. Being good at something is fun. You should try it sometime.

using a parser to make you good at something does nothing to denote skill at all, skill is gained by learning parsers do little to help you truly learn skill. if you don't have the skills to start with a parser wont do a damned thing for you. if you think that fun I feel sorry for you

There are many resources (videos, text guides, livestreams...etc.) created/run by good players for the express purpose of helping people to improve themselves.

those videos/text guides/live streams are nice and all but some people are hands on and only learn by doing.

Which brings back the issue of Dps not knowing they are doing bad because there is no way to tell. In which case, they don't try and make changes/improve because they think they're doing fine already.

personal parsers on the striking dummies are a pretty good idea and they have talked about this.

Add parsers in to the game.
Let players opt in or out of being able to see the parser window or not.
Let players opt in or out of having their numbers beeing seen in the DUTY FINDER trials and raids.
Let party leaders for PARTY FINDER set the party's parser visibility settings (overrides individual settings).

Alright, someone point out to me how this system can be used to hurt the feelings of anti parser players cause I want to see a real 100% accurate and detailed parser that my fc party can use for coil.

I think you missed where Yoshi said personal parsing on striking dummies was as far as they were willing to go. <---I'm thinking many of you missed this. he said it in either one of his live letters or one of the fan festivals when he was asked about official parsers. that they were considering striking dummies with parsing enabled on them but they would never add an official parser that would show everyone the results.

No, I did not. Pretty sure that most people wanting in-game parsers in this thread did not miss that either. Pretty sure the point of this thread is to TRY changing yoship's mind or at least other player's mind, which is probably futile on the latter because most of these seem to not care about other people's opinions and views and can be so flippant as to just discard any detailed explanation/argument with "just a game" style remarks (see post below you).

I mean, okay, you people don't like players who want to take the game more seriously so you probably don't want to play with those players right? It's also safe to say that those players probably don't want to play with you people either right? Then both parties can stay clear off each other (I'm sure you're already doing this). But people are apparently rejecting pre-made only parsers? So what's the problem here? "I don't like PFs that doesn't fit me so I don't want it to sully my eyes"?
