In-Game Parser.

[Lycelle]

No it's pretty much correct. If you are confident in your own ability, you don't care about a parser or are already running one. And for those who want to get better, or aren't aware of how well they do? Parser can inspire to get better.

The ones vehemently opposed are the ones who do not want others to know how bad they are and have no desire for self-improvement.

Yes because it's SUCH a bad thing to not bother wanting to do raid content. It's people like you that give the game a bad reputation with the raid community. Nobody wants to deal with elitist who will call out people. You are a prime example of why parsers WILL NOT and SHOULD NOT be put into the game. You are the type of person who would get more enjoyment of dragging someone's numbers through the mud instead of helping them. I'm glad I moved out from Sargantanas. There are people in this game and let me break it down for you into something you can possibly understand due to your bliss that came with the sheer amount of ignorance you are exhibiting.

1. People play the game to enjoy it.
2. People play the game to have fun.
3. Raids are not hard.
4. Mechanics are not hard.
5. Parsers are not require, due to this reason. There is a rotation for all jobs. If you do the rotation correctly your optimal DPS will remain at a set number regardless of a parser or not.
6. Gear sets come with a standard amount of stats. These stats increase DPS count until a full damage threshold is met, usually by having a full set of armor. Parsing will not help this as you will hit that cap eventually and will be stuck at that number.

Do you get it now or must I explain it further to you?
