That's reality though. You don't need to be perfect to progress, not as it pertains to personal DPS at any rate. So the argument that parsing should be mandatory for dps(and let's be honest, it isn't mandatory to parse in order to be great as a DD), is already flawed because it's not necessary.

If it's completely arbitrary, it's certainly not necessary, and should never become mandatory.

The point being made is "It should be completely optional, only available outside of encounters, and a completely solo affair".

You can't complain about that. You get what you want, and only people who wish to be parsed will be parsed.

You all may not be self aware, but it appears this game's director knows exactly the kind of people some of you are. Which is why the only possibility he left open was what has been outlined already, a personal parsing dummy.

After all, if what you're REALLY concerned about is being excellent, you have absolutely no need to parse others.
But again, let's be honest, that's not what you want it for.

You'd honestly think no one cleared anything prior to illegal parsers being used, but they did. They most certainly did.
