The Real Problem with Parsers

[Viridiana]

It also has a decent chance of not working because you kicked them and wasted their queue, which could just lead to them being pissed off at you and even further not caring. If it's happening consistently, they could just go on to think that the community is just full of elitist jerks.

If someone can't take valid, well-phrased criticism and use it to improve even with the added incentive of no longer being kicked from a group, I don't want them in my DF pool. >_>

Right, and as I said before, though not to you, you don't matter. Even if everybody in this thread said they'd try to help before kicking (don't kid yourself, it would be a lie for at least some if everybody in this thread said it), there will be people who won't. Those are the people that matter.

And those people are jerks and should probably be reported for harassment, leading to a better community. What's the problem, again?

But at least you get control over classes and can check gear beforehand to get a better idea.

Both of which are very nearly meaningless metrics. Do I need to tell the story of the Ex Roulette where the NIN and DRG (both excellent single-target DPS jobs) were playing like absolute crap even though they had Eso gear?

"Low DPS" is not an option on vote kick. And it never should be.

"Carry me, senpai!" is not an option on the DF queue. And it never should be. >_>

Whose standpoint are you asking from? The person who may just want to clear content but doesn't care to be all serious about it which is why they don't bother with a static? That'd be bad for them.

If you want to clear content, be the type of person actually capable of clearing content. That you would even argue that this is bad is mind boggling.

For a company who would probably lose players if low DPS is such an all-encompassing problem because they just keep getting kicked from runs and don't see the point in continuing to pay for a game full of elitists? I think this is the most important standpoint, don't you? Remember, SE is, above all else, a company. If they start losing players due to the people trying to cleanse the casual filth out of THEIR duty roulettes, they're losing money.

How many players stop playing because they're tired of people thinking they deserve to clear content just because they can queue for it? People who don't see a reason to continue playing a game full of people with no interest in self-improvement? People who apparently can't read their tooltips or figure out what their skills and combinations do? You can't just pretend there isn't another side to this.

Edit:

Or maybe the character I choose to show to the forum is entirely irrelevant to what I have or haven't done.

That's the only character on your account. If you have another account, by all means link it?
