In-Game Parser.

[Clarkamite]

Remember when I said the people against parsers would completely skip over the idea that SE could add in one in-game that only you could see and it only showed your numbers? Yeah. Still holding true. I completely understand the arguments that say it will only be used to harass people if one is created that is just like the ones pc players have. So find a middle ground. Make on that only shows your numbers and is not shareable unless you allow it to be or hell even make it not shareable at all. How can that be used to harass people? Especially if it can't be shared at all?

A parser to only see my own output and not others would be okay with me.

Can't abuse that.

Answer: your answer is kick them or leave and you do not need a parser for that, its no reason to have a parser.

I don't think you understood my post, but whatever.

Cool, we can move away from my illogical example that was way out of left field. Especially since the example was never meant to be justification for a parser; it was meant to be demonstration that your sub-fee excuse is shit.

Now, how do you respond to someone who's doing middling dps and can do much, much better, but is wasting your time by causing wipes? And yes, it is wasting your time.

That's what I hear all the time, some of you might not use it for bad, if its anyone I am talking about or the ones who should blame for people like me not liking it.

Is the ones who miss use the tool for wrong.

When you say "ones" you are referring to people. Each person is different in terms of attitude and personality. You cannot blame a parser for that. Yes you will reflect negatively on the person for their bad attitude towards you, but that's all you can do besides report them and hope SE takes care of it. To try to blame a parser for someone's attitude towards you is like trying to be mad at the tools a plumber uses because he doesn't want to fix your leaky pipe.

Oh, you've turned, good!!

Don't forget this people: a parser isn't only good for DPS. It also helps with many other things going on like (over)healing, mitigation, incoming dmg and loads of other stuff.

I think SE can't use the harass argument anymore. They also know people will ask for it more demandingly, so I wonder what their response on the matter would be like.

Looking forward to it.

Good? Hell no. Have you seen my alignment in D&D?



But going on topic, I believe if we were to use an in-game parser I think it'd be a good step in the direction of raid content. Then like after every raid players could choose whether or not to submit their DPS scores to Yoshi-P's Dev team. They could then possibly use the data and analyze it to adjust fights based on a % of players passing and failing and give tweaks to fights on some mechanics instead of giving an overall blanket nerf. (I'm looking at you Turn 7.)

How is a glorified calculator to blame for people's natural elitist attitudes towards other players?

I am not blaming it so I have no idea what you're going on about. Nor you understood the rest of my post.

Please elaborate so that I may give you a proper argument. I may have misunderstood your post in it's entirety, for that I apologize.

Yoshi-P can't protect the community from everything, and in this case it's doing more harm than good.
