This. I've been in other MMOs with parsers. The grief is stupid bad. I will even give a case for Parse available in Pre Made Parties.


Another way to do it is have a solo battle, at current caps, that allows the player to know how they're doing; that can be re-taken as desired. Warcraft implemented the proving grounds, and you had to achieve silver grading or higher to duty into Cap content. From my friends still playing, they say while its a pain; it's helped alot.

The problem with wide spread parse:
If Player A is a BRD and isn't hitting X dps people will dismiss them because obviously they're a troll. It couldn't be that X is Max dps and the player has minimum ilvl for content. Or that Crit wasn't Maximized just so, so that they proc like mad so dont do enough proc damage. Or that their Acc is not optimal for content and they miss frequently. Suddenly player A isn't bad because they don't know rotation... its progression on their gear that is hurting their dps; but parse says Bad DPS so "Nope, your gone."

Can everyone who wants the parse admit this is a MAJOR problem with it and know it wont be functional as a community?
