The Real Problem with Parsers

[Craiger]

Not everyone uses parsers, especially in easier content, but there are enough that do, that you're going to run into them a lot.

I've grouped up with a ton of players that have the mentality I see the OP and some others have. They clearly don't care about doing good. Do I see a lot of players being kicked or harassed about it? no...

Maybe my server/database is extra nice (doubt it), but I really don't see all the harassing that seems to take place according to others... Not saying it doesn't happen, but it rarely happens, and a lot of those who harass someone, are gonna do it even without a parser.

People keep mentioning that you can check the enmity bar to see how much DPS someone is doing... Well, if that's the case (it isn't), then what do you think would happen if you couldn't use a parser? Players would learn how to determine how good someone is doing, by just looking at that enmity bar. Some might be smart, and know how skills, burst and other things can affect it, and base it on that, and some will just harass players that aren't actually doing bad, their job just doesn't generate as much enmity... either way, it's not going to fix anything. Should they remove the enmity bar too??

IMO the OP is being the ass right now... Ever considered that there are a ton of players that really likes using parsers, and don't harass players with it? The same thing can be said about a ton of real life things too... The internet have been abused by a ton of people through the years, should that be turned off just because of that?

EDIT: There are a lot of assholes in savage though, but if you're doing raids, you can't expect to get very far, without having used a parser/asked someone else about your DPS... Which is another reason it's stupid to not let people use parsers
