DPS Tool

[Ikeda]

i am by no means and elite player, but people being called out for not performing as well as others on dps with their character is .... discrimination? You are not helping those players by hiding the fact that they under perform, and you dont help the game as whole by doing this.

SE's logic is pretty simple to explain. Where you see someone trying to teach someone and help them improve, SE sees discrimination, hurt feelings, and lost subs because the loudest parser enthusiasts are the stereotypical elitist pricks people complain about.

You could make the same argument about SE's decision to make the majority of the game's leveling content overly casual with a emphasis on soloing because it's detrimental to the community and doesn't force players to actually learn to play their class properly by the time they reach endgame.

Or their decision to add a cross server duty finder which breeds a community that doesn't have to fear for any consequences of their actions creating a self centered community that only cares about their loot and prevents people from actually forming good communities because half the time they get put together with people from another server they'll never see again.

In general most of SE's decisions for the game have been soul-less "by the book" decisions that can all be summed up as "WoW did it and is making lots of money. Maybe we'll make lots of money too if we copy them" ignoring the fact that every other mmo that's done just that has failed. If it's not that it's a decision made solely in a attempt to retain subscriptions rather than actually improve the game.

Then there's the players charging people for primal and coil runs and the people from those groups that sabotage normal primal/coil runs to try to make people desperate enough to buy those runs.
