The Real Problem with Parsers

[ShanaShirayuki]

This is not "too realistic" it is impossible. He plays at 70 percent me at 90 u at 95. Swe all have to be at 95 now, until sb steps in to show us 100? There are better players and worse, and always be. There are players thriving for more and those who are satisfied. Stay out of df, manage your friendlist, make illusional pfs. Just please stay out of my game. I wont EVER share your standards. I dont want to.

No one is making the point that everyone should be performing at maximum, impeccable play. Using your own terms, a DPS that is doing only 30% of maximum output is bringing the party down and is putting more workload on the other 3/7 members. They play the game too, it isn't just your game, and having others suffer at the expense of underperforming players is not right. Tanks and healers get called out and kicked for not holding aggro / letting people die, DPS should not get a free pass on performing suboptimally. Sure there are those that just don't care and won't listen to feedback, but I'm certain there are more people who would be receptive to said feedback if they were aware of their poor numbers in comparison to others.

As for the argument that parsers potentially turn everyone into raging jackasses who only do so to belittle and kick others, I'll leave this here since it was conveniently ignored:

The day and weeks to follow when mch dropped, the community hated this class and lots of people recieved abuse or were outright excluded from content due to job choice.

I myself had first hand experience of being called out in the early days of Alex normal when a wipe happened due to failed dps check.

A mnk immediately said kick the mch they are shit dps to whicha healer in the group said, you do realize this mch is 300dps above you?

Food for thought.

Non parser users are quick enough to point the finger without having any evidence to back it up.
