Are you guys ready for a radical idea?
On how to solve DPS-meter based harassment?

Here's a radical idea: Don't be bad.

An oversimplification. Parsers don't take into account the different ilevels of the characters. Will people be called out as :bad: for simply having lesser gear?

we're not talking "900 instead of 1100" bad, we're talking "500 instead of 1200" bad. Yes they exist. I keep getting them in my expert roulette, or in alexander midas.

edit : mind you, the "900 instead of 1100" isn't even bad. Sub-performing, maybe. Depends on the gear. But bad ? That would be being a prick over nothing for 99% of the available content.

It's hardly an oversimplification.

We aren't talking about people doing 5-10% less (1300 vs 1150) as a case of "omg you are doing this all wrong!"
We're talking 1150 vs 400.

And don't say these people don't exist at cap. Because they do. And they are more common that anyone would like them to be.

No, because we as players have the capacity to look at another character and see what gear they have equipped. Anyone with brain one in their head isn't going to expect Savage-tier DPS from a Dragoon wearing a mix of un-upgraded Law and green dungeon gear. However, if that same Dragoon is doing 400-500 DPS that's definitely cause for concern as that wasn't even top tier DPS back when Dreadwyrm was a thing. It's like I've said many times before: a parser is nothing more than a tool. Stupid people can use tools just as easily as the rest of us, the main difference being that they usually use them incorrectly.
