Parsers and Problems

[Zeonx]

Yeah that's you, I am talking about others who agree with me.

What you all fail to understand is as long as there are people like me who don't want a in game parser there will be no in game parser and I am not talking about the training one they are going to be releasing.

I am talking about the one you guys use to judge people on how they play, some people would agree with me on this subject but I am done explaining cause I don't want to say something that might get one of you upset and report me on forums and try to get me temp banned.

Cause some people get bent out of shape even for small things like this. So cya.

Are you for real? There are people who didn't want old content nerfed and it still happened.

They paid their subscription and is allowed to fight that fight, he got into the fight because the requirements were met.

With this mentality, vote kick should also be removed, because you know, that troll you wanted to kick has paid their sub as well. Sorry but this comment fails so hard it's unbelievable it was even used. No one can stop you from accessing certain content, that's what you have paid for, it's just that players have the right to choose who they play with.

That mentality is like demanding a world-tier group to take you in their group because you have paid for the content and are entitled to play it.

In my opinion an in-game parser is a very good idea (at least with the option to display your own dps, for research and self improvement purpose).
Last time in fc chat we were speaking about the use of a parser. We finally ended up with that analogy : when you are raiding, it's like you are driving a car. Now for example Faust in A1s could be a speed limitation telling you "if you don't drive at least at 110km/h then you can't enter this road". That's where parsers are useful, how can you know at what speed you are driving without something displays you the number?
Then okay some ppl will say "you'll know that your dps is good when you'll beat the fight". Ok, but sometimes that means waiting months to earn more gear, while the problem isn't the stats of your armor but your skill rotation. You can still try to blindly test different rotations, but how can you know if one was better ? Are you driving at 30km/h on a highway because you don't know if you are pushing enough on the pedal ? (if so, i'm glad to just meet you in a game and not in a real car)
I am pretty sure 99.9% of the persons raiding in that game are looking on google for guides about what is the Best in Slot gear for their job, what is the best between spell/skill speed and determination/crit etc... How do you think all that theory-crafting is made ? SE never released the algorithm used for the calculation of your damages depending on the det/crit/ss, so ppl had to try by themselves, using different gear, spending hours looking at the numbers of their parsers on different situations to end up sharing their ideas with other players about what they think is the best solution to improve your gear/rotation etc...
So, ok, some ppl are bullying players in dungeons trashtalking about dps numbers and things, but for the ppl who are trying to help the community, sharing their results about BiS and skill management (and i can tell you, it takes hours to see a difference between two rotations because you first have to master the new rotation at 100% to really see a benefit) we should all be happy if a legal way to mesure your dps was added in the game.
