It's funny how there is always this small group of players who seem to witness someone using parser and abusing others because of low numbers everywhere no matter the content. By looking at this thread many who are against it are totally clueless how they even work.

Oh and i'm also a PS4 player and want a parser. I don't want a training dummy since hitting it doesnt tell me shit. I want to know how I fare in actual content when im trying to find an optimal way to use buffs etc. Especially when SE is so keen on designing hard DPS checks like in A3/4S.

Never used a parser, see no need for one.

Go run some DF Bismarck HM, once you wipe 6 times to the snake DPS check because others have no idea how bad they are, tell me again that there is no need for a parser.


Question for all the people against parsers:
Why are Tanks and Healers required to do 120% of their job capabilities (= their job + DPS), yet DPS players are babied and can get away with doing less than 50%? Why?

[Taika]

As far as I'm aware, he would have had to tab out and check our DPS before acting that way. He went to the effort of looking at the DPS numbers before telling the DRG that his DPS was bad. I honestly believe that he was just trying to act like the tough guy with the 'you suck, you're getting kicked' because he had some numbers to go by to back him up. If he didn't have those, he probably wouldn't have even noticed.

I've seen DDs telling other DDs they suck and kick them for "low DPS" while the kicker themself has been the lowest DPS in the party. I've personally seen this happen twice. With an official parser those situations would have been prevented.

[Sapphic]

The guy in Fractal literally said 'your DPS numbers aren't good enough for me'.

And with a parser that DRG would be able to see. With a parser would be able to see if they are pulling close to expected avg numbers for their gear, or just a 3rd of that. If one DPS is pulling 1300 DPS and the other is pulling 300 then anyone who is pulling the second with a little common sense will think "Hmmm, I should be doing more." I would happily give advice to the second DPS to help them improve. Plus they would have instant confirmation that they have improved.

If a parser was added for the PC and PS4 it would not stop you being able to report others, like now, for harrasment.

You are wasting your time asking that, it has been asked numerous times in other parser topics and all the anti-parser crowds seem to have a blind spot to that question. Only argument they have is, "because harrasment" based on anecdotal "evidence". Personally I found a more obnoxious form of harrasment over someone saying that your numbers are low is the one who puts in zero effort to the success of the party.

Been MMOing since EQ1 with parsers and without, only time get called up on numbers when I decided to switch to a DPS role. You know what? After looking at the numbers, they were right. So I made an effort and improved. I got into the habit of practicing rotations until I felt comfortable with them, then I would join party content with the confidence that I would be able to contribute adequatly to the success of the run.

There are numerous players, myself included, who are always willing to help players to self improve. There are numerous guides written by players that some insultingly call elitist/hardcore. (pro-tip it is not "casuals" that write all the extensive guides available on the internet).

Theres no I in party and that player putting out 250 DPS when the other DPS is doing 1250 is not a team player. The rest of the team has every right to replace that 250 DPS player, just like the rest of the party has every right to replace a tank who cannot hold aggro or a healer that doesnt heal. Just with a parser that 250 DPS player will know exactly why and then is able to improve until they are no longer getting kicked from parties.

So all ppl have it exept ps4 users ,so that's why i want it cuz all ppl have it !!

[Misutoraru]

Same go for the argument the good of this out weight the bad it did
We are all making assumptions which cannot be proven till officially introduced

[Misutoraru]

Does it help improve dps?it does
Does it induces harassment? It does
Then do the good out weight the bad or the bad out weight the good? No one knows
It is never introduce officially in FFXIV, no one can tell how it happen in FFXIV community

[randysquirrel]

Met a tank last night in Alex 1 normal to get my bolt and he shouted that one healer didn't do any dps (a whm), and kept harassing that healer until we kill the oppressors, "can you at least throw some stone 3 cant you, lazy ass" etc etc
He even harassed a ninja because my DPS (a smn) was higher than the ninja when we were doing single target. The ninja left but we still managed to finish it. The tank said "good riddance"
My second time I've seen this happen in Alex 1.

/shrug

Plot twist: that tank was not running a parser, but neither was no-one else, He shouted out those remarks about people not pulling their weight, and because no-one else was running a parser, no-one could disagree.

My point: Very rarely on these posts (god knows there are enough of them about parsers) do people consider that harassment MIGHT decline if we all had a parser. I play on PS4... in any content I'm in, someone can say I'm pulling great/abysmal dps and I have absolutely no idea if they are right or whatever, I must just accept what they say on blind faith, because I have no parser. If we all had equal access to parse, sure their might be some that use it to harass (but then we currently do anyway, as per your anecdote), but there might be less people calling others out when we can see THEIR numbers too

[Yshnal]

I'll quote myself, as it seems that some people think about parsers in a void, thus only seeing their benefits:

Not to mention that only a handful of players know how to properly use and read a parser.

You just need to see the behavior of these players here and in every other MMO that has allowed or implemented open parsers (or here, even with the "don't talk about it" policy). It's not just a small number of people noticing this, otherwise we wouldn't have this discussion in every MMO out there.
