Thank you Yoshi for your stance on DPS meters

That's just the thing though. Sure you can Ask for that but then what if everybody or a vast majority starts asking for that? You end up locking out a ton of players and that wouldn't be fun for anybody but people that have statics or get lucky with high skilled pugs.
Then there are players that CAN get a 80 or higher percentile but can't because they pug, and get healers that let them die or tanks and other problems in their pug runs that's not their fault.

I mean...look at it in someone else shoes and don't give me that BS "Well I'll try to improve and get a better parse" How would you like if everybody is setting these very high standards which you know you can get but can't because all those bad pugs.
Tanks have it the worst since they're the most valuable to dying due to the healers.
I know some very skilled Tanks but they always have a bunch of greens and blues because they die from lack of healing.

All I'm saying is if you were a samurai in stormblood(mid stormblood), just imagine that but for everybody that's not a high purple parse. No matter how good I was, nobody wanted my job and it was VERY hard for me to find a group that lets my job in.

Don't get me wrong. I know this sorta happens already but an official parse would just make it worst since at least now, People can't demand that kind of requirement(At least openly) giving people at least a chance.

You do realize those players can just... make their own parties, yes? If there were a ton of them, they'd likely have an even larger pool of players than those demanding 80%. And once again, this already happens. If a party lists "skip Black Smokers" and the group isn't able to because they have a 10k SAM. That person will likely be kicked except no one will say why.

I've pugged this whole tier and parsed 80 to 99 on several different jobs. It's very doable even in a non-optimized group. Bear in mind, plenty of groups won't have such requirements. As for how I'd feel, well... I wouldn't be all that bothered. I'd make my own if needs be. As for Samurai being unpopular. That was partly due to SE's poor design choices and how FFlogs used to rank. Samurai was woefully undertuned and had to compete against piercing—a battle it'd never win because what Bard or Machinist would join a party without a Dragoon? This is no longer the case and you see practically every job in PF these days. Making parsers public wouldn't change that. In fact, it may make things better as more people would understand how rDPS works.

I think it's partly about prevention. If less people are using it, and especially using it in the open, then there would be less chance of toxicity of this kind to occur. Of course, either way, harassment would still be forbidden.

No. They simply want to maintain the illusion of a hugbox. Perhaps I'd be proven wrong but I firmly believe that outside the initial month or two, the community would settle right back down to how it is now provided SE did proper due diligence. The actual toxic players would get suspended or banned while everyone else just goes about their business. The issue is that requires work they don't want to deal with.
