How does SE justify these ten min enrages, but doesnt let anyone know their dps

Don't blame the tool because people choose to use it for the wrong reasons.

DPS Meters are a plague any should never be allowed.

Much better for everyone to just blame the player playing the DPS class that's perceived to be the worst, right? Or get mad at the healers for not contributing enough extra DPS?

Whenever people assume players will need some form of hard data like a DPS meter to get mad and throw blame around, I wonder what planet they're from...

What game are you even talkin about I dono what game your talkin about but , this game isnt friendly nor nice this is just people and they can be toxic parser or not. This is still the game where people leave duties right away when they see new players, the same one where people leave pratice groups in two seconds, same one that has no bonus in every group even in unsync runs. So stop pretending like a parser would make things worse if people are rude they will be rude anyway. And again no it may not be called a parse but SE already shows us damage in pvp and I wouldnt say thats anymore toxic than pve is currently. And also most people that do endgame would like to know how they are preforming otherwise what are they even doing it for?

Do you need a parser to know if you're good or bad? You're blind then.

Do you need a parser to know if you're good or bad? You're blind then.

It's not knowing if you're "good" or "bad," but if your performance is up to what you either 1. seem to think it is, or 2. what you would like it to be. This game doesn't provide any way of knowing either of those. So many people think that the enmity bars are an adequate measure of overall DPS and performance when the reality is, is that they are not. Highest enmity =/= highest DPS/performance. There is nothing wrong with wanting a parser to give you a visual, numerical indicator of your performance. That doesn't make one "blind."

Toxicity will exist with a parser or without one. It doesn't matter one way or the other. No one can accurately say that toxicity will increase or decrease with the addition of parsers, or with increased/stricter monitoring on SE's part with regards to parsers. All anyone can say is that it will continue to exist regardless.

Like I said above: don't blame the tool just because people decide to use it for the wrong reasons.

I want to grab this because it highlights a significant problem. I assume enough people posting here know of NEST, yes? They actually talked about enmity equally high DPS. Why bring them up? Because they a popular group on Youtube, which means other people will listen to them. For example, Samurai has a slow build up. Tanks should fear Red Mages, Black Mages or Bards long before they fear a Samurai catching them on the enmity bar. They will without Division but you wouldn't know it if you simply glanced at that bar occasionally.

A parse allows people to see their exact damage, which they can directly compare to other players: "This Samurai did 4,500 in V1N? What's he doing and how can I do that?"

Easy fix. Make killing the training dummy mandatory for entering the corresponding content.

Yes, it does. It's, again, called training dummies. Instead of measuring numbers, people can measure how fast they kill it. What's best is that if you can kill it, whatever time remains, it means you do enough DPS, and you shouldn't care if people try to harass you into doing much more just because they have stupidly high standards.

[GenericMagus]

At the very most, I would like a personal parser whenever I do Extremes and Savage, as I'm on PS4.

Don't say just do the dummies. I do do the dummies, but in a raid and dummy is two different things. I just want a personal parser so I stop pestering other people to know my DPS.

[Verius_Nox]

Yes, it does. It's, again, called training dummies. Instead of measuring numbers, people can measure how fast they kill it. What's best is that if you can kill it, whatever time remains, it means you do enough DPS, and you shouldn't care if people try to harass you into doing much more just because they have stupidly high standards.

The flaw in that is that the real test of ones DPS abilities is being able to perform mechanics while also maintaining adequate DPS.
