Thank you Yoshi for your stance on DPS meters

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.



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.

You do realize "just make your own party" doesn't sovle the problem,yes?
Now I can't say how bad people will be but even now.
Even people that don't even pull high numbers themselves don't join parties that are in their skill range.
You underestimate how much people wanna get carried.


And I know why samurai couldn't get in parties. I was just using it as an example on what it would possibly feel like to be excluded from a lot of content.
Also you hide your parses or using an alt, so I can't see if you're telling the truth on your "99 on different jobs" or just talking out of your a**, but just because YOU can get lucky with pugs and get a decent percentile doesn't mean others can.

Ether way though we're not gonna agree, all I can say is look at it from the PoV of a lesser skilled player.
And I think you heavily underestimate how much people will be A**holes and ask for very high expectations if the general population had access to a parse.
You can preach report but you really think that's gonna scare people?
