In-Game Parser.

[Lycelle]

If you don't know how to play and can't perform adequately, either through mechanics, DPS, HPS etc, you have absolutely no right whatsoever to try to jump into groups that want to succeed, and you definitely don't have the right to tell those people otherwise.

This much I understand, I have no problem teaching people mechanics. The problem is the fact that a parser will always be used in a malicious manner by those who are of the elitist community, no matter how much you slice it. You can sit here and argue that "It's a good resource for gathering information." This much IS true and I have no problem with it doing JUST that. But when someone then takes that information and broadcast it to 7 other people in front of them and calls them out on poor performance THERE is your problem. That is what I am shooting at here and I'm guessing SE is too. It becomes a tool for harassment instead of helping.

if you are bring call out for doing poor DPS it easy as A B C just call GM, parser is there for you to know your DPS, of course it up to you to practice on a dummy to get you DPS up.

So because of that, nobody knows they were doing bad and so they go on to get carried and think they did great or they can't finish the fight because they're bad but think they're good because they have no way of knowing otherwise.



I've been reading all these replies and it seems there's no real reason not to have this other than "because people would make others feel bad with it"


here's a workaround ban anyone who uses it as harassment just as they would ban someone for calling out someone's bad Dps currently.

I'll help the other person in /t when you convince Yoshi that allowing tells in dungeons is a good thing. Deal?
