parse for ps4 users !

[Whiteroom]

I see no logical reason to disagree with parsers. First, they are already out there - that horse has well and truly bolted, it's not going back to the stable.
It seems far more sensible to get an even playing field between the PC users who have them, and the console users who don't. They are like every other tool you can name. They can be very helpful when used correctly, and they can lop a finger off if you use them badly. No point praising or blaming the tool in either case.

Agreed, and while you would see some a-holes harrassing people with them, it has been pointed out that many of these are already likely to be harassing, leading to not much of a gain in overall harassment. On top of that, instances of harassment like in that quoted text would fall to essentially zero.

By the way low dps was classified as 200 single target, and 300 multi target in that fellows test. Its bad that you would see that many cases of low output dps in that many runs, and those are just the ones getting loud. To put that in perspective, a ~186 DRG (180 weapon) can put out 600 DPS on a dummy, just using the three three attacks in the Thrust rotation, no buffs or anything else, just hitting three buttons.

Do I think the first month or so with them would be rocky, yes. A parser is a big thing, and I think a lot, especially on the NA servers would be in for a shock. But it would settle. I do think the impact will be worse the longer they wait though. Unless they do something like slip it in during a level cap increase.
