I've played WoW with some pretty crappy FPS. And by crappy I mean REALLY CRAPPY like 5 FPS and lower.
I still managed to give a decent performance and kill the boss (though it certainly wasn't fun). PS4 is nowhere near that bad.

It's a myth that we don't notice or feel a difference in FPS. If FPS didn't matter, even consoles wouldn't be trying to at least hit 60.

People saying they don't get a potential boost to performance from better hardware and FPS etc, are woefully ignorant. Linus has covered it many times, this being his most recent and he is quite reputable as he tests and shows. There's also several scientific studies, showing the eye isn't limited to a certain FPS. Remember when people said there was no difference between 30 and 60 FPS? Ya, it's that all over again, and they were wrong last time too.

I'm not saying console is unplayable though, far from it. I was just clarifying that on a decent PC you have much much more potential to see and respond to things far faster then someone running a lower FPS, and that is all I've ever said.

But alas, not part of this threads topic, but felt it needed to be cleared up.

As for parsers, I still stand they have high benefits that outweigh the cons. But this is my opinion at the least from raiding in other games. I don't feel they are elitist, but have seen them weed out those who cannot perform, and also check how encounters played out mathematically to see where the group went wrong.
