Built-in Parsers

[Lazaruz]

and honestly.. it's the people against the parsers that seem to act in a manner that's counter productive to discourse (but this is only anecdotal).

You will never realistically defeat or dissuade the victimized mentality that a lot of the community and forum loves to have regarding parsers.

Yes because claiming everyone who doesnt agree with you have some kind of victim attitude is oh so productive

well when someone ask for a personal parse for themselves then what would be the argument for the otherside exactly?

Nice try, but the discussion isnt about personal parser, and has never been, as those in favour of the tool time and time again will use whatever strawman argument they need to justify having acess to numbers that arent their own

case and point

Because knowing how much damage your doing us useless information if you don't know why.

And in order to know why you need to know what the rest of your party is doing. What ast cards you got what debuffs the boss has. We're party buffs used did the ninja use trick attacks as much as he could have.

All of these things the 7 other people in your group do but you have no control over have a very significant impact on your personal dps.

Personal parsers simply won't work because all 8 people in the party contribute to your dps in varying amounts based on there jobs and how well they are playing.

You could take a Joe average 50th percentile monk for example and put in an elite group with 7 99th percentile players. And practically guarantee that monk isn't gonna be 50th percentile any more but way up there maybe 75th or 80th percentile player. Just because of the 7 people he's grouped with even if his standard of play hasn't actually improved

Now let me ask you all a question, did it ever occur to you that the game is quite litterally designed in such a way where parsing software isnt required, or why else would they cross-platform it with something that litterally cannot use parsers unless it's through ingame means? Or are you all just screaming because you cant tell people off for underperforming before you kick them?
