Would you like an in-game parser?

[Kaurie]

With more people able to parse content, I'm sure a site like fflogs would expand to give you some context.


Her context implies that the low dps should be able to see if improvement is needed.

It would for players like you and I, but we're not the problem. We already know our rotations and have discussed/researched/theorycrafted/practiced to improve. The problem lies with the average player, the one who wouldn't go on FFLogs to compare, and that just logs in after work and queues for expert roulette and midas normal. The one who is pulling 500 DPS on their SMN at ilvl 130. If that SMN saw their DPS while leveling, and was like, "hmmm, I am pulling 200 DPS and this other SMN is pulling 450 in this 50 dungeon. 'Hey, how are you pulling so high numbers?'" they might ask, or maybe they'd alt tab after the dungeon and ask on the forum. They would then have that motivation to improve, after realizing that they could be doing so much more. Then, onc they are 130 on their SMN, they already have a good understanding of what to do. They may not be pulling 1500+, but they probably would be doing a lot better than 500.

So admitedly you want a parser to judge the rest right?snd call them out on it? Exactly the reason why parser should not be added to the game until people grow up

Sort of a rather immature response considering the context of your response - it feels rather hypocritical.

Admittedly, I want a parser, so that players can see their number and compare it with others - so that they can see how their relative performance is without the need for someone to tell them. It is very embarassing to have someone say to you, "Hey, your DPS is really low for this.", but if they just saw that number as they were leveling up they could adjust and learn to play. Once they got to end-game they'd be much better players because of it. At least, that is my hope. I imagine some people would still play poorly, and likely there is no helping those people. That said, I do believe there are a lot of players out there who would want to improve if only they knew how they were doing
