The Real Problem with Parsers

[Aiselia]

If i queu for a lvl 60 dungeon and someone with similar gear is pulling 500dps while i pull 1.4k, ill kick them. i'm here for my eso or drop, not to carry their lazy ass

Pro-tip: You can go into Expert Roulette with a premade group. Do that and keep your toxicity out of the actual roulette. You'll get through your runs faster and nobody will have to deal with you.

You need a parser to see someone's failing that hard in a four-man?

No but the same could be said with your argument. Why are you against parsing when you can already tell when someone is terrible?

Then go make a preformed group and run it with that group. The DF is not your personal crucible.

Nether is your. I shouldn't have to make a premade to expect people to know basic informations about their jobs. If you want a jolly cooperation slow run with no pressure, you make a premade

Here's the thing you are critically failing to understand.
Casual players, AKA the bad ones you hate? They are the lifeblood of this game. Being exceptional by its very nature makes you the minority whether you like it or not. The moment the majority of those players feel like this game is full of hostile assholes who kick them for not playing well enough? They stop playing, they stop paying, and poof. Your game is gone.
So yes, it does fall on you. And me. And everyone, to tolerate (or, gasp, try to help improve) subpar play.

Here"s the thing you fail to understand. Casuals doesn't mean bad. I have dozens of casual friends on my server who can both do well in savage and pull 1.1-1.2k+ in dungeons. There is a difference between casual and bad. Learn it

Okay look.
Nobody is arguing that you can't kick someone who's obviously playing so badly you can't pass through a simple dungeon.
If you're making it through just fine, however, and you still kick someone partway in because their numbers didn't please you? You deserve to have the book thrown at you.

As i said, if someone is in similar gear, which mean he has done part of savage at the very least and cannot pull reasonable numbers, this person is being lazy and expect other people to do most of the work for them. im not gonna spend 30-35minutes in fractal so im kicking that person. There's nothing else to argue about. The bad players can leave this game for all i care, that only mean less *pls nerf literally everything* thread on the general forum

This. SO much this.

Don't demonize parsers because of a few people that would abuse them. Knowing just how much DPS you're doing can be a stepping stone to learning how to improve and be. . . well, less "casual".

[Sacerdos]

Even if they add a in game parser, as long as its still a reportable offense for being an abusive dick, then everything is pretty much the same as it is now.

Abusive dicks will be abusive dicks whether or not they have a dps parse, and nice people will be nice whether or not they have a dps parse.

[Kumori_Kumo]

So to recap, you think
-30 minutes in a dungeon is intolerable
-Casual players are doing Savage despite the fact that at most 20% of people cleared T9, and
-Random people who cannot make parties should make parties rather than use the Duty Finder, the purpose of which is to compose a random party.

Wow.
Just wow.
I guess I'll have to take solace in the fact that the actual devs agree with me, and hope you get caught doing this.

You can also take solace in the fact that Hallena's attitude shown here is actually a perfect example of the type of people who shouldn't be allowed to use parsers.
