A proposed solution for having players become better players.

Your fourth response is a general blanket statement that isn't necessarily based in reality.

If SE ever implements a ingame parse, it's going to be such a reality slap into some people.

An ingame parse by itself won't do much other than tell you numbers. Now when there's dps checks that require both dps to do more than spam their DoT abiliy over and over, that's when the reality-check comes in. Though it will help to quantify numbers and at least back up the times where healers/tanks are somehow outdpsing a dps.

The issue with dps checks is the lack of direct responsability. Raid wise there will always be someone with a parse up, it's mandatory for raiding even with SE policies being against it. A party that doesn't use a parse will always say "dps is low" or "dps needs to gear up more" or even push it to the healers when a dps check is failed, at the end of the day, without a number the player(s) who weren't pulling their weight will never know they were under the average dps for their class.

No, not really. The people that pay attention already know what is happening. The people that aren't, may or may not not care, may or not be able to improve to what others want them to.

90% will end up depressed how bad they been doing all along, probably why SE wont make it happen and if they do, it will be gimmic. Look at raid finder, super flopp.

That's easy to explain though. Bad party compositions, bad players could pop up, way too many people buy runs on NA territory for the "duty complete" requirement to be trustworthy. Anyone who ever thought that raid finder would be successful must've never tried to DF a ex or any raid ever.

^^Probably this. I see level 60 players on BLM and I still teach them the correct AoE rotation. And these are people with every class at 60 and accounts that are 2+ years old.
Most people are bad at the game. But they don't know they're bad at the game.
