Parsers

[Delsus]

A lesson on why parsers should be a bannable offence, now I know the real reason for parsers is as an aid to improve dps, but when it comes to calling players out over dps using them, they should be bannable. Just in the Thornmarch to get my win (I don't get to play much) we wipe once and a healer parsing the fight just says "Delsus are you trolling, your dps was xxk"

Um, yeah if I didn't badly need the win before 2.2 I would have left there and then, I don't normally take that kind of douchebaggery. (is that even a word?)

So you were really bad, so bad that people thought you were taking the piss.

Is it them being a douche for calling you on it.

Or is it you being a douche for burdening them without practising your job rotations on a dummy.

But you don't see the point I'm making he just said "Delsus are you trolling" which is why I'm calling him a douchebag, what I would say in his shoes is "delsus your damage was only xxk, could you focus a little more" so many people don't understand it's not what you say, it's how you say it. If someone wants to use a parser to help me fine, but when they are saying things that make them sound like an ass, then they deserve whatever they get. I know my rotations, I was just lagging a lot, but be an ass to me and I'll be an ass back.

So, in other words, parsers should not actually be a bannable offense.

Thank you! Something that constantly goes over the heads of these "people." Parsers would be great all around if our beloved western culture had any semblance of compassion and common decency. It doesnt, however, and therefore should not be given yet another tool to be 'douchebags' with. The group wiped so, if it was found to be from the lack of DPS (like an enrage timer), then yeah, its perfectly fine to PM them or even politely explain over party chat. Starting out with "Are you trolling" is childish, stupid, and singles people out which puts people on the defensive, and only causes more unnecessary drama for groups. The irony being this troll, is asking someone else if theyre trolling.

Maybe when we stop being such d-bags to each other maybe some of the more respectable companies will allow for in game parsers like this. Until then, we reap what we sow.

Monster dying is all i care about, nothing else.

I see Parser used in both good and bad ways. Tho some retards cant even read parser properly. For example, a fight with bunch of low HP small adds, a blm flaring would get higher dps out of it then a MNK or DRG, turn 4 is a good example, of course, not many realizes this.

The point is that, when a player fails too bad, it is easy to notice without a parser.

People get called out on performance all the time without a parser.

I think after one attempt its pretty harsh to judge anyone on their DPS, there is usually a number of reasons why things go wrong but ultimately it boils down to people looking for someone to blame for the faliure and usually it's not just one person -

Especially Thornmarch ... I assume the OP went as DRG if so chasing after those crazy little moogles as meele DPS can be tricky, you can't just attack any moogle its has to be in a specific order totally mess up even the most experienced DRG rotations especially when they dont stand still. If all other DPS in the party happened to be ranged (i'm speculating) then there would be a noteable difference in DPS because that fight is so much easier for ranged classes.

So someone calling your poor performance out with actual evidence should result in a ban lol?

If you weren't playing poorly, that person would have never called you out.

Maybe take it as a good sign to practice playing your job well and be an actual contribution to fights.

Considering its SE's policy of don't ask, don't tell on a 3rd party parser.. Yes, the person talking about the parser could and should be banned. Regardless of how good/bad the player was. Even Yoshi said SE's stance is its a 3rd party program. Don't talk about it in game.
