Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

[KaitlanKela]

I've been thinking about this.


A parser where only you can see your numbers. Make asking for other people's numbers a punishable offense under harassment.

However, the parser is connected to a lodestone "app" similar to what's going right now for PVP rankings. However, the app only displays the "average" and "high" numbers for each class for each boss encounter. Say I'm a DRG playing T5, and my personal parser gives me 500, but then I go online and I see that the average is 900 and the high is 1250 for a DRG on this fight (just throwing example numbers out). Time to go to the internet for some help. But if my number's 1000, I'm doing better than average and I probably am contributing to the group in a positive way.

Also, for the critique of my cases analysis about the silent kicks. Already happening. Hell, I think it might happen less WITH a parser because right now it's easy to falsely accuse people by mistake when they may or may not be the problem. And if someone kicks you for putting out numbers that are not 100% ++ perfect, you're probably better off anyway. Players like that are toxic even if they let you stay. However, under my proposed idea above, this wouldn't be a problem either. The player preforming at 1000 knows that he's contributing, and it's better than average. It's not the BEST but it's close enough to where any @ssholes prolly couldn't tell or at least the couldn't tell WHO it was. And if they're using a third-party parser on a PC and they get the 1000 number, at least now there's a benchmark. They're more likely to say, that's better than average and pretty close to the max, instead of potentially kicking you for having really impossible exceptions, like 'why aren't they doing 1500'!?!?!
