Would you like an in-game parser?

[Krotoan]

This thread is not to debate the worth of parsers. It's a simple poll to like posts. It may be bumped, but DO NOT discuss the pros or cons of parsers. There are a substantial amount of parser threads.

Please like the appropriate posts. You may like more than one:

.. poor OP.. nobody read the first page.

Yes, even if only for my own dps.

Them saying "It's not going to happen" regardless of how consistence their stance on it has been means nothing. There is no such thing as never when it comes to MMO development. There is going to come a point in FFXIV's life cycle where they are going to have to seriously consider their stance on certain things if they wish to remain afloat, everywhere from sever limitations, item storage all the way to what type of content is designed, which of course includes parsers. The fact that there are F2P MMOs that have the QoL features that this game should have had years ago is testament to this. There is no such thing is never, it's all a matter of time.

No, I would not. If it was added, I would turn it off. If it was party wide, I would permanently disable party chat.

That's frankly quite a sad stance to take IMHO. I could make many comparisons to what you're saying, but it'd probably land me in trouble with the moderators here :/

You remind me of this guy. You gonna think it's fine to ignore the rest when they ask you to either know the mechanics or do enough dps. While everyone wants to either down or farm, 1 person which is also needed to do the mechanics correct, otherwise a wipe.

I don't do farm parties so no, I don't need to see your inane ramblings. I make sure to atleast get a grasp on mechanics before I enter fights and stay up to date on gear, I don't need a number to know if I screwed up or not. Stop the hand holding. I have no need for your e-peen contests.

You would be suprised how many players who keep their gear up to date and don't mess up a single mechanic are unable to pull their own weight DPS-wise. Last time I did OS4 with a pickup DD their DPS was so low if everyone else had played at their level we would have never been able to beat the fight even with 0 mistakes and deaths. And the person had i340 melded gear and did 0 mistakes. They might very well have thought they "didn't need a number" but they most certainly could have used one, because right now they were being carried hard. The worst thing is, they probably did know this, because they had seen and hidden their own parse rankings...

But you do intend to clear content right? So even if you have gear, doesn't mean you are capable to hit reach the dps your class is capable of or even close to it. I can't count how many players have 340 ilvl and can't do more dps than I did at 320. It's not about e-peen, it's about doing the shit you are supposed to do. Imagine everyone had your attitude in EVERY group you are in, good luck clearing then. First you admit you are willing to ignore others now you open admit again it's fine to ignore people again.

I don't get the impression people are asking for parsers in casual and semicasual content like Dungeons or 24mans where the benefits would be low or a parser itself wouldn't be more like e-peen stroking.

But you can't neglect the benefits in progression of Extreme Trials, Savage and Ultimate and not only in progression, also in kill parties and farms.

If you don't want to participate in the higher content don't try to demonize a proper tool for people who do by highlighting possible drawbacks and negative sideeffects and mix it up with your own fears while ignoring all possible positive sideeffects and the intended use.
