Parsers

[kukurumei]

The problem emerges when someone with a dense mentality, unable and incapable of accepting criticism, is given some form of criticism.
Thus we have this and several other, similar threads.

That's applying to yourself.

If you're going to do it, then getting caught is getting caught. No mater how you rationalize it, you're in the wrong, so when you're caught, eat it.

That's how parser club works. If you can't follow the rules, stop making yourself look like a good guy, because clearly you're not, by breaking the rules of parser club.

No one is telling you to stop using it, use it at your own risk, and your trap shut. <--- This is a very simply rule, why can't people follow it.

Except I don't use a parser myself.
If I did, it's unlikely I'd talk about it here, of all places. But I can still meassure a person's performance with in-game tools, as can you and just about anyone else.
My point stands, though. The OP's problem is with the person, not the third party tool. Said person could have still insulted/harassed the OP by looking at his positioning/ability pattern/threat generation, etc.

Given the way the mobs are constantly moving about in thornmarch, I'd be a little more understanding of a monk messing up rotation for whatever excuse they give, especially on the first try. There is other information that should have been taken into account as well, such as the level or skill of the other dps in the group. If they were bards or mages, they wouldn't have to worry as much about rotations getting messed up due to movement, etc. so they would have gotten more hits in, which would skew the results of percentages of total damage done.

tl;dr

The first try of a single fight isn't nearly enough data to justify losing your cool and insulting someone over. This give credence to the idea that parsers can be used to harass people (misuse by people to blame/call someone out for a loss).

Yo there's a parser for ppl's IQ
It usually fluctuates during an instance with 8 ppl.
I suggest you download that to asses ppl's mentality before you badger on their game and life.
Also download a parser for skill level cuz thats important too.
Skill is thicker than gear, similar to how my cleric's boot is thicker than your butt, but a Roe's boot will always trump mine but tht is very unlikely!

So basically, we have a bunch of people who are unable to function in an easy game without the use of third party tools, and who whine about other people for not cheating to get ahead. Sounds like a typical MMO.

I don't think you know what a parser is. Or what this thread is even about, for that matter.

Tell the person how he determined that you're doing bad dps. If he admits using a parser, screenshot it and report him. It is a bannable action if you're found guilty.

It's not the parser's fault for anything, it's your fault for breaking the rules of parser club. Stop acting high and mighty for failing worse then the people you're parsing. That's even stupider then parsing bad, when you can't even shut that trap and saying you're parsing.

What about parser club is not understood?

There's no witch hunt if there's actually a witch
