Self-Parser

[Rawrz]

There are 2 different kinds of people:
The person who made this thread that wants to judge their own dps and areas to improve, using discussion and 3rd party sources like these forums and Reddit to find goal dps.

The other wants to use parsers to directly judge the contributions of others in order to adjust performance or replace if needed and to see where the group struggles the most during phases.

To me, a personal parser is healthiest. PC users will continue to be able to track raid performance. I always enjoy competition so being able to see where i rank in a party would always be fun, but a personal parser is a nice step towards a group parser.

We don't need a nice step towards a group parser, we need a group parser for EX primals and content above that level. A group parser will of course measure your own DPS, so you could use that for your improving your skills too.

Pretty much this:

The issue is that so many players take this:

As a form of a personal attack, or are unable to deal with constructive criticism.

If there is a case of legitimate player harassment, the GMs are there to deal with that. However overall player transparency is never a bad thing.
