add an in game parser please!!!

[Eylirria]

That's asking too much, plenty do seem to want this game to remain a hugbox for bads!

No one starts off as great but why would anyone want to withhold their own growth I don't understand.

Because apparently if you plug your ears and go "lalalalala", magically, the problem disappears.

Kinda like sweeping dirt under the rug and acting like your house is clean.

Just going to leave this here for your enjoyment while you'll keep beating around the bush with this topic.

LOL NOW I DO. xD Meowth that's right!
Just pointing out that this type of image had already been posted. It's a poor use of the meme though.

When you emphasized DOUBLE I thought you were implying that this topic was beaten like a dead horse, half way decomposed and stinking up the forums again. ;D

I didn't want to re-quote such a large picture, especially if I was the very next post. =) And I couldn't think of a good way to do their entire speech so I just emphasized double. :/

The only thing a parser is going to tell you is that someone is either A) not using a good rotation or B) they don't know the fight yet. SSS, in theory, is there to work out all the kinks in an ideal setting. So if you beat the dummy but have bad dps in the instant, you don't know the fight yet. You don't need a parser to tell you that.

We're not getting one. This bad debate has been going on forever on this forum. Get used to the idea. The dev team is smart enough to know it's not a good thing for the game.

More like the dev team thinks the playerbase in general needs to be babysat.

Unfortunately, they're absolutely correct about a sizeable portion of it.

Maybe the only reason is not implement is because of how toxic the community is,dev know that... an ppl will abuse of it.
thats the only true.

Playstation players are not getting one.

Fixed that for you. Not like there are plans to take away parsers from PCs.

Dream all you like. I'll tell you what, show it to me when it happens. Just a suggestion, don't hold your breath.

With or without it, people that are abusive will continue to be belligerent. Data in and of itself is good, and having no feedback to work with is bad when there are multiples of a role, whose job essentially boils down to make this mob's HP go to zero, and individual contribution isn't always so transparent. Sure, a healer also deals with numbers, but the effect of their numbers being low/mistimed equals dead members, which is very noticeable. If you aren't taking hits to the face, or tossing numbers at party members, your job is to make things dead and you best be doing it. Tanks and healers are already easy to evaluate and find mistakes, DPS shouldn't get a free pass or a carry.

In such a situation where no one knows what their DPS is, and a DPS check failed even with mechanics done properly, who are you going to blame? At best it could be one of two, or it's a combination of four players. Would you blame all of the DPS, even though two are pulling their weight and it's one or two players pulling ARR numbers in level 60 content? What if there was an excellent BRD or MCH, but the others aren't pulling their weight, you want to guess who is more likely to receive blame for their failure? In the case of not knowing, blame is blanketed on multiple players, even those that don't deserve it.

It's now a climate of babying a rather important (though unsung) role, where even expecting people to play at bare minimum is too much to ask, and as a great example to illustrate it, A8 a good reminder of that.

On the note of bringing up DPS meters and WoW, in the near decade I've played it, the amount of bullying that I have witnessed that happens over DPS is negligible. Pre-LFD and LFR was best since every one on the server would know if you pulled your weight in runs.
