Would you like an in-game parser?

[mandodo69]

Yes I would lik one. I would like to know if I'm where I should be on my DPS. I don't think it will have the bullying effect people think it would because it's not like its recording your parsed damage and displaying it above your head..

Hmmmm, oh, solved !! read your chat. It gives you all the numbers you need. Duh.

Now, parsers will hurt the community. I'll explain, by using a parser, you single out the weak players. By doing this, you stifle them from being able to learn and advance and get good. EXAMPLE ONLY: Now, some wont let me do Alex because there using a parser or some crap, anyway, they wont let me in. So, now I can't learn. I guess I can go watch a video sure but, if I dont reach, X amount of DPS, i'll be kicked.

I, as many do, learn from first hand experience. We already have ilvl's to gate us, do we need the community policing who gets to do what because a parser told them so?

No.

Sorry to hurt your feeling. But before starting a raid you have to make your homework. Learning how to play your class, especially as a DPS, is something that has do be done before you want to do content where damage matters that much. Within the content you have enough to do by learning mechanics and how to adapt you rotation along the machanics. This is not the place to learn how to deal damage at all. Nobody can say that you will ever reach the goal. with that opinion you would do only one thing: waste the time of the 7 others, that are not able to make real progress because of you.

Sorry to hurt your feeling but, i have cleared Alex. I made a mistake and should have put EXAMPLE.

Now your whole comment is dumb and does not apply to me. thank you.

Sorry to hurt your feelings.

So it is just a BUG that this and this achievement is missing in your profile?

Ok, easy as hell
Optimize your rotation and dps before you go into dungeons
Just watch the numbers you like so much
Then you can learn the mechanics

Let me ask you this, why do you have to optimize your rotation?

Let me explain what I mean. I have all my skills on my hotbar. I never have to change them around at all for anything.

For a dungeon, i use the skills best suited for said dungeon. I know of NOBODY who re does their hot bar or even has to prep for a regular dungeon. Or hard mode for that. Since beta, i have hardly had any issues with any group and about 80% were duty finder.

I guess i should have said EXAMPLE when bringing up what you quoted by me. here, i'll actually change it so it does not confuse other.

Even if you make such a poll, it's pointless still because at most you are going to get an idea of what the forum population wants, which often greatly differs from what the general playerbase wants.
If SE really wanted to know, they should do a poll for ALL players again, like they did in the past, and make this one of the questions.

not this thread again. don't you people get tired?

Maybe one day they'll learn it'll not happen, and we've had SEs answer (albeit a crappy one) to it already. Though I don't see this day for another 3-4 expansions

Actually, Yoshi P has been wavering on things like this recently, with the talk of addons, they changed it from not wanting parsers, to humouring the idea of how it could be done fairly. So I'd say that threads like these, especially the way this one is set up does indicate the demand. The devs do listen, and do give in if the situation allows them to.
