The Real Problem with Parsers

[Archaell]

If only it were so simple. You know 90 percent of those casuals wont care to make the effort to file a report? They just think the game is shit, not because the game, but because the players are. They know one way to #dealwithit is move on and maybe do better things with their time. You expect everyone to involve to care as much as you do. THAT is not "too realistic"

No, actually I do agree with you. If they decide not to use the report feature - it is their choice. That's what is this all about - about giving players choices and information.

Well you can try to kick them for harassment if you feel sb is just expecting you to farm for them. Sounds like harassment. If you need a parser to proof your suspection, it cant be that bad.

I can't tell when one dps is doing 75% of damage and the other one 25%. So it is not really an option. If all of them are doing 25%... well it is time to leave as the game is no longer fun when there are soft enrages... which is another issue.

The longer the fight takes the more strain it causes for the healer. If the healer fails... "healer why no heal?!?" Try to explain to them that boss is getting increased damage the longer the fight lasts and that your mana isn't unlimited.

Like what I said, quick to judge. Even if you're doing sub par dps, doesn't mean that you aren't trying to improve, some people are in the process of improving. Some people are struggling to play the so called best rotation, but that doesn't mean they aren't trying to learn it, but from what I see frequently, those parser people just kick them "wtf are you doing, ur dps number is so low, stop playing go uninstall", vote kick them.

I haven't seen this happen once. I have seen "dps is shit" followed by leave tho.

With help of parser we can help these players who are willing to improve. That's pretty much what it is. Everyone can play the same way they do now... but then others can see their contribution. I am certain that more players are going to help someone underperforming - rather than mock them and kick them right after it. That's how much i believe in this community.
