    So you are perfectly fine with being removed from any premade with no reason as to why ? Let's face it 99% of the ones who will use this are already using it because they do what needs it. In a premade where it matters it's already being watched in duty finder honestly if the group can't make it chances are over half of them will vote abandon anyway before it even matters. It's just like voice chat, SE doesn't want to add it but groups will still require it. At least you will know why you were removed and can work on improving or if someone tries to get on you you can say look at this tab or that tab I did 3 raises and 20% of the healing and did all this rather than them not telling you anything and you having to guess or them simply eyeballing what people were doing and kicking you because they think you were to low or doing something wrong.

    Like I've said before I'd rather not raid at all if this is how the community is gonna be in regards to raiding especially as they try and make it more difficult. This is what broke WoW by the end of its second expansion and 2 major patches in it is already breaking the community in FFXIV ARR.

    I prefer fun over stress regardless of wipes and loot.

    That is nice and you can do it with a group of the same minded people.
    Why does it have to be banned for everyone just because you play the way you do? Does only your way of playing counts?

    Let's say they will add in a tool that lets you judge all the stats, so you get removed because you didn't do enough dps. That is exactly bad why? The chances of it happening in DF are very low and if you join a party you agree to play by their rules.
    Join a party without a dps requirement if you don't want people to judge your dps. I am sure you will find enough people to do so.

What percentage of the population of players do you think down coil within the first second and third week of its release? Those people might not receive the negative backlash from the toxic players yet with a big amount of players that aren't "playing correctly" if it's a standard those toxic players will find it justified to vent their frustration and anger on the rest. Since they will use DF they will use PF and they will not seclude themselves to special little groups where they group up with each other to yell at each other.

    As for your second question it answers itself.

    Yes i answered myself, and i gave you a way so we are both happy, not only you. And i am still waiting for those so called "wrong purposes" other then to say "your deeps suck". Info is GOOD. I really don't understand this whole concept where hiding stuff is considered a good thing.
    Using it in DF is pointless since you can't kick and just ignore a loud mouth anyway. But no, you simply don't want to do that and now the people that want to actually step up their game have to use illigal means to see what they can improve. Some logic going on here.

    these tools are getting daily used in wow and in a thing called LFR which is the biggest cesspool imaginable you barely see people flipping out unless someone is actually barely doing anything.

    I say you are vastly overrating the harm people will with it.

    Then do the following.
    Make an alt on a difference server and play during your downtime. Play bad on purpose when you notice that there's a jerk in the group and find out first how it feels to be on the receiving end of the stick. Don't better your DPS, keep it to yourself and tell me that it is magically a good experience.

    Also make the effort to play more in DF and notice these things more and instead of siding with those jerks side with the ones trying to down the content.

    So you are saying play bad and not take advise then be hurt when people get upset with you or vote kick you?
    I would say that the jerk in this scenario is the bad player not the person getting frustrated.

    I have been an mmo healer for over 10years, if you don't think i have been on "the receiving end of the stick" you are very very wrong. And your example doesn't make sense whatsoever. Play bad and people get angry? i...well...duh?
    Btw, in your example you are the jerk, not the other person since you are intentionally fucking up the whole run.
    So we now came to point that you are the same as the the people you call out all the time.

    I'd love to see the research studies, statistics, or what-have-you to back this up. Something other than anecdotal evidence or personal bias, as neither of those are reliable sources of information.

    Anyway, all a standardized dps parser would do is...nothing except make dps reads more accurate. They are used regardless of ToS, and people still get harassed and get kicked from parties for poor performances. If there were a standardized dps parser, and you're still getting harassed for your poor performance, you can still screenshot/report. Or you can improve your gameplay, but that may take a little work.

    If used correctly, it's called accountability. If a player wants to participate in a raid, there is nothing wrong with expecting that person to improve if they are holding the group back, or get dismissed from the group. Heck, even if the group is doing ok, but that person has huge room for improvement, there is nothing wrong with expecting that person to improve. If people are wanting to raid, they should expect to be held accountable for their performances. It's just that with dps, there has to be a parser involved. Parsers just happen to also provide useful performance information for tanks and healers as well.
