I'm confused about Yoshi-P's thoughts on dps-check programs.

I never understood why people have a raging...passion for parsers in a game where it'd only be useful in the coil and not needed everywhere else.

It's more like a concern. There is a good chance that the new raids and dungeons in Heavensward would have some sort of soft/hard DPS check - kind of like Haukke Manor (Hard) and Halicarnassus, and Amdapor Keep and the Demon Wall during its prime. Those 2.0 and 2.1 dungeons were pretty brutal because of how tight the dps checks were.

Honestly there's nothing really wrong with that. All things considered, this is the sort of thing that can get easier as it gets older (compared to say Second Coil if they didn't change the mechanics) because you start to overgear it (and thus, have more leeway to get to get the dps check). Especially if said dungeons was current content at the time. People should have an idea on how to play their jobs (and I mean the entire four-man party) by the time they get to level 50 and doing heroic/expert dungeons when it is new.
