Are we really getting a Dps parsing dummy?

[Nektulos-Tuor]

I honestly don't understand how you cannot tell that parsing would assist you in improving yourself. You won't notice if doing "x" improves your DPS by 50 if your dps hovers around 1000.

It also might assist your account to a permaban. :'3

Banned people do 0 dps.

Then you could try "y" which also improves your DPS by another 50, and again you wouldn't notice the difference without a parser. However, after those two things you'd be doing 10% more damage than before.

You are wrong, the human mind can actually see things and do things you would not believe and can actually time out things and it does notice when you do things slower or faster.

A parser is quite an unfair advantage to have. You might as well be botting honestly. Do not admit to using such programs. Ok?

I've literally never heard of anyone getting permabanned due to the use of a parser.

You can use the parser to literally see when monsters hit you and how much outgoing damage they can do to you and when they use their attacks.

In the highest upvoted comment it links to an interview where he states that publicy they have to state that it's not allowed, but as low as you remain hush hush about it, it's fine. That OP likely talked about it in the open, and probably was rude enough to get reported.

Yeah... exploiting the game is fine as long as you can get away with it. I see. That is standard attitude in MMOs these days. However I always report people who say or parse logs at all. :'3

Exploiting the game? The parser doesn't tell you when an attack is coming or how to avoid it, the game does that for the most part actually. All it does is track damage, healing, etc. =l

Because you totally can't get that information from cast bars and flying text or anything...

You do realize the info is provided by the game, right?
Parsers just put the information in a more readable format.

Calling someone such a name only leads me to believe you have no interest in actually having a serious discussion. If you cannot see how a parser can give you such an advantage over other players then I think you should actually look at its other features. Like how much damage you are taking in a fight or when things hit you. Parsers can time things for you and help you automate your skills.

YES IT IS AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

Then maybe everyone should have them. Then it's not unfair at all.

Also, some of that is just wrong. Parsers do not help you automate your skills.

Expecting everyone to download third party programs just to be on-par with other players? Do you not see an issue with that?

Yes, it shows you exactly how much damage you can do and how to macro and push your skills to their limits. It lets you also see incoming and outgoing damage done to you and how much you have healed. It helps you do a lot of things, it shows you when you got hit by that big bosses aoe and how long in the fight it took.
