DPS meters and why they're necessary

[NoctisUmbra]

I find it amusing that real situations that happen in game now are referred to as semantic and anecdotal however the best of you claims the necessity of a 3rd party add-on in a game based on what? Things your "friend" tells you?

If you're not using one and proving real scenarios that happen, at best your using theory to claim fact on something that's being proven every day is untrue.

Not everyone end game is using a parser.
Yet plenty of people are running and winning end game.
This alone proves they are not necessary.

Unless you have 1st hand scenarios when you can show necessity and how parsers were needed to complete content then by your own standards you have nothing.

Since when is what your "friend" said evidence of anything?

It's safe to say every competent endgame progression team makes use of parsers. At least some of the players in there.

Of course after said progression teams clear content and strategies become widely known, one can simply follow the formula and eventually achieve results.

It would be absolutely naive to think cutting edge progression teams aren't using powerful tools that save a huge amount of time in developing strategies and increasing efficiency.

Of course, nobody can admit to using a parser without violating ToS. So don't mistake people not publicly owning up to using for a lack of use. Furthermore, don't think you're being clever by trying to bait people to violate.

If you're so keen on having this discussion directly with someone who uses a parser, I would be happy to put you in touch with my friend through another channel. Voice chat perhaps? Something tells me you're not intetested in that, however.
