One potential solution to the parser 'problem'

[hobostew]

I think instead of adding overly complicated "solutions" they should just go ahead and add add-on support like they said they would back at launch and let the players sort it out. I'd rather not see them waste development time on something to prevent a tiny number of players from getting their feelings hurt by jerks who are probably gonna be jerks with or without a parser.

Well, you sort of got your fix. Stone, Sky, Sea. Which I'm not sure anyone actually uses anymore. Sure you can get high numbers on a stagnant dummy, but how does that relate to an actual encounter. Standing still and doing a rotation does not correlate well with moving around and doing mechanics, while doing a rotation.

I'm genuinely confused as to why a 6 year old thread was dug up from the grave.

Stone sky sea was a weak addition yeah, the numbers it asks aren't even particular relevant to the fights they are tuned for either. It's really more a test of Can you do your rotation for X minutes and do you have enough gear? and even that's a stretch.

The Yojimbo gate is is really closer what I had in mind. That but combined with a wider variety of mechanics to do and a side of having to DPS/Heal through it would be amazing.
