Self-Parser

[sirDarts]

It's a nice idea (which has been mentioned countless times) but the idea is a lot easier to imagine than actually implementing it.

People WILL boast about their DPS, (can totally see E-peen arguments here) and demand other players DPS information for things like farms or statics. I support the idea but it needs to be thoroughly thought out and implemented in a certain way or it will cause more problems than it will solve.

Also, DPS means nothing if you can't execute mechanics correctly.

Who cares about people stroking their e-peen? Why does it matter to you, you don't need to join them.
People already do demand you to push decent DPS to join a static, and pretty much every static in the world is parsing anyways.
I totally wouldn't mind DPS demands for PF farm groups. Way better than people demanding i180 for Bitchmarck EX...

And of course if you get killed by a mechanic DPS doesn't matter, since you will die anyways. But if you do execute the mechanics, and still wipe to a DPS check, then DPS DOES matter.


And of course just as others who say that DPS doesn't matter I have to ask you:
Why are tanks and healers required to play at 120% (do their job and DPS), while DPS players are not even required to play at 20%?!

Yeah, and it's a reportable offence to harass people over their DPS because they shouldn't be parsing. This is just going to allow people to get away with it, unless like I said, it's implemented properly. If you didn't read my post I was actually agreeing so no need to jump down my throat.

Yes, harassing people over their DPS is reportable offense, but not (only) because people shouldn't be parsing, but because harassing people for ANY reason is a reportable offense. If parsers were implemented in game, it would still be reportable to harass others over their DPS. So no, you are wrong, it won't allow people to get away with it.

And nobody is jumping your throat btw.
