Parsers make you stupid

[KaiKatzchen]

But parses are usefull to see who is doing good or bad when a party wipes to an enrage. If you disagree with me, you probably likes to being carried instead of trying to improve your game. Even casuals can do high dps if they want.

Not want to sound elitist but sometimes you need to know what is wrong with the party and how to get better. In DPS checks there are parsers who can provide this information..

I totally get what you're saying - and as I said I've never used one, ever. But if everyone used them in a kind and helpful manner we wouldn't have an issue. At first Yoshi P didn't care just don't talk about it - but they had to specifically put it against ToS last April, and Yoshi P didn't do that - it's was the people who used said program improperly that did that. So in short - the community did it to itself and now they are not allowed per the ToS.

Unfortunately with pure typing (like this) motive is not always clear - so even if someone is trying to be helpful - if they mention the program and the other person takes it the wrong way (feeling harassed, picked on etc) they can be reported and possibly banned. If someone kicks someone out for having low DPS 'per' said program and no other reason, that could possibly be harassment, which is also against ToS, and they could be banned etc... and there are ways to improve DPS and parties without the use of outside illegal means.

So the back and forth on if they are helpful or not is kinda irrelevant since they are not allowed.

Yep. That's why I don't use them and want a personal parser built ingame.

That and I am a PS4 player, lol.
