The Real Problem with Parsers

[TiaHeart]

No one is making the point that everyone should be performing at maximum, impeccable play.

Yes he did, I dont know why you quote me for answering him and then go on by saying stuff thats unrelated. He said every single member of a group should care and invest the same. And i elaborated if im a guy happy with 80 percent play, he studies the game a bit more to stand at 90 and therefore expects me to do the same cuz of his mentality. And i said further now this lucretia pro joins whos almost 100 percent mentality. You cant expect to me care AS MUCH. Not as much as him. Not as much as the pro. Not for the overall game. I will care exactly as much as i want to, completely ignoring your standard. You can do it in your hardcore raid team for all i care, just not in the game in general. There will always be people to care less than you do and it actually is their right. Period. Reality. Check reality. He said he was too realistic and therefore shouldnt guide the game in a sarcastic tone. In fact you guys have your head in the clouds. Nice ambitions, noble cause, not saying your demands were evi by nature. They are just naive, and counterproductive to ff14, SE and their balance, and a community as big as possible. I was locked out for max posts yesterday, now I would be just as much as of a broken record to aiselia as you are to the other dude.

Its about money, its about as many players catered as possible, its about a majority of bad players, its about ppl like you -while maybe on the forum representing the majority because most do not make the effort/dont want to- actually being a minority in the game and for the product

Nobody said NONE of them cared. Some sure do. But imho yes the personal parser is better for them, for now. Also for the same reasons as aiselia wrote. No they do not want to be displayed with 350 dps to everyone else when tank does 500 other dd 800. No they do not need you to tell them "omg wtf u so bad bro". They need to see their own number being 350, and seing at the doll how it changes if they try different rotations. They need to see it in mobgroups, they need to see it on bosses, they need to see it while handling mechanics. They need to be able to ASK others their numbers and compare, they need to be able to ask where an ilvl 190 nin should ROUGHLY stand (yes we all know it isnt that simple. Please do not answer with a post on what the answer would depend on lol) or check for referances on the web. Thats the basic first step some people need and it wont have as many downsides as a global parser.

Actually, ive gotten a few parsers on rare occasions like bis ex rav ex a1s. They were all over the place ranging 600 to 980, but those 3 or 4 numbers simply told without having the ability to watch em evolve obviously doesnt help. Personal parser does.

Sure its EASIER and MORE EFFECTIVE with direct comparison via global parse, but first and foremost they need to know their own performance that only they will know so they dont have to fear embarassment, harassment and what not. They are easygoing and want to be pampered not abused, disrespected or talked down to. Denying these downsides exist for horribads is again, NOT realistic. Yes people get kicked for their performance. And all you people prove why so "its not fair that i have to carry more workload. Its not fair t n h get kicked when underperformin, dps needs the same treatment for fairness" -> you expect to be handed a tool comfortably For that destructive mindset? Pls nonono, its your idea of "fairness" and how you need to fight for that sort of fairness, why it shall NOT happen.

"Oh come on as if people would really ride on others for their numbers and performance if there were global parsers". You do it every second line of your posts and then say it wasnt a problem. Nuts. Bonkers. Cuckooo
