The Real Problem with Parsers

[Archaell]

Ok, you dislike elitists - I dislike elitists too. Elitists can be reported for harassment, so it is something each individual can fix.

There is no indicator when somebody isn't paying attention and you can't report them. As much as you believe that elitists are bad, I do believe that players who exploit others for free tomes are bad. There just isn't a way to deal with this issue which exists in the game.

Saying that if you are bad you should play dps jobs is making me furious. No. If you are bad you should try to improve. Every player in the group should share the same amount of responsibility. That's equal treatment. It shouldn't be play dps if you want to be irresponsible. The goal of every member of the group is to finish the run. Unfortunately players aren't considering others in their "single-player" game to do their best so something like parser is needed to make their contribution visible.

Not all players are nice. Elitist can be as toxic as slacker. The most annoying is when poor dps player blames the bard or whoever that the group is failing dps checks. With the public tools they wouldn't be able to do that.
