I will just ignore some of the last replies people did, because they still ignore a large problem of the community so I will post a very big post and have my own summer of what this thread has brought to us all!
So I will go over the people who doesn' want a parser in game and these are the reasons:
People being elitist jerks
People will only care about numbers
People will be left out from content
People can't play how they want so the pressure of a parser will make them stress out more, it's like a test to them.
It's not all about dps
Some feel they that dps has all the ''work'' to do
Will split community
Now I will post the things people who WANTS parsers:
No limitation to improve yourself as a player
Get better as a player
Adjust and see where and what could been done different in terms of cooldowns etc in fight
Playing DPS as main class and want to optimize it
Keep in mind I might have forgotten something so please let me know
Now, this part will be my respons to people who are againt's parser
Yes there will be elitist jerks of jerks who will call out bad dps in a bad way, saying things like you are shit, go quit the game, you shouldn't even play dps etc etc. The list is long and I know and I've seen it, however jerks will remain jerks, while people, like A LOT of people who also use parsers haven't called them out, so saying people will get worse of they get obtain a parser, will make it a lot worse. There will probably and most likely be more people who will jump on the bandewagon for calling out bad players in a shitty way, but keep in mind if people weren't so frustrated with themselves and actually improved themselves they would mostlikely not be called out even if it was a nice way or a shit way.
Numbers aren't excactly numbers. Many times peoples arguement againt's parsers is people will only be seen as numbers. There is a huge different ''forgetting'' or ''missclick'' skills and drop down 500 dps than doing 50-100 less than you could have. Keep in mind some DPS is RNG involved so having the excact same numbers wont happen all the time. If a person is 500 even more behind what they should, this isn't all about numbers, this is also about the player; Doesn't know a propper rotation, not willing to take advice, plays on their own way and simply gives a shit about people around them and only think about themselves. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM! FOR MANY PLAYERS!!
People being left out from content. There are various of excuses why this happens, one of them being players not playing optimized, keep in mind when I say optimized it means 85% or more into the job you play. You don't HAVE to play at 100%. This is what a lot of anti parser people sees wrong. Many people who parsers gives a rat's ass about dps in dungeons or even in 24 man. Even if there are people who do, there are NOT many of them. What most people want to let anti parsers know, the actuall talk about propper content like savage or extreme primals when you excactly can't slack around, so please stop say people would put you down in every single content.
If you aren't doing your role, you simply should 1: stay away or 2: get gud!
Many here arguments with dungeons or 24man raids, but never mention savage or extreme primals when they argue againt's people who want's parsers. There is a big difference in dungeons and primal/savage runs. Keep in mind it's also SE's fault a bit too, giving players no reason's to get better unless they really wanna do savage or extreme primals. The gap is simply too big too!
Now if you are left out there are many reasons, you simply don't pull enough weight for the actuall content and I talk about extreme primals or savage. Screw dungeons or 24 man raids, those doesn't matter at all. But honestly if you gonna cast blizzard or fire 3 every 10 seconds, you are doing it on purpose and wasting peoples time, simply because you are lazy, that's also what many people dislikes.
If you get nagged down, positive or negative way, take the criticism and get better. If you simply refuse because 1 guy was an asshole, that's your fault for not improving and also a bad excuse for doing so.
It's not all about DPS, no it's not, mechanics are involved too as well adjusting yourself as a dps to dance with the mechanics while dealing damage. Now, your JOB is to deal damage
Much as tank has to tank, or healers have to heal. Before anyone gonna bring up some silly arguements people say all the time healers aren't good if they don't dps, there are MANY and I talk about MANY who can't even pass faust because the healers can't heal through aoe or when the tank get's hit hard. So if you can, you know you are somewhat good enough to do it, if you can't you have to get better.
Tanks has to mitigate the busters and also controll the location of the boss/adds, so please don't tell me DPS shouldn't do anything. After all mechanics are for all classes. Healers to heal mechanics, tanks mitigate them and DPS has to do them and adjust and keep their dps high. Is this equal? I think so. Keep in mind when you play as a team you want everyone to optimize and not half ass it even if there are fights some classes can slack. If you are in my team I expect you to play 85% good and not slack, but being 100% is even better!. If you slack that one is your fault and if you won't get better that's also your own fault.
Now many feel the pressure of being a dps in certain fight's and you have the reason to do so, because it's your job to bring the boss down and if you can't well, you know what can be fixed.
Honestly I will probably get suspended or banned for saying this and I don't care if I do, because honestly has to be said:
But if you are complaining that some one told you that your dps is low, you have to fix it and not ignore it. Your job as a DPS is to dps, so if you think you can slack off, then you shouldn't expect healers to heal all the time when it's needed or tanks ignoring busters and won't use any cooldowns for it. As I mentioned countless of times, if you are being told in a dungeon or 24 man raid I'm sorry if people are like that and I find it annoying too. But if you slowing the team down on purpose because it's fun to cast freeze every 20 seconds or cast blizard through the dungeon or simply not doing positionals that's not worth ranting about their dps, that's more like the player having an awful attiutude and doesn't respect the group.
No anti parser person have even mentioned how those people can improve when they aren't willing to learn or look up guides. Most want to just ignore it and socialy accept it so peopel don't get hurt.
That's one of reasons why many are left out from extreme primals and savage runs. People who talks about wanting a parser in games and I talk about 99% of the people in here, want's one because many who want's to do primals or savage simply doesn't do their job enough. The 1% cares about dungens and 24 man raids, so I don't really see why people would mention dungeons 24-7s.
tl;dr:
If you as a DPS can't do your job propely, don't expect healers to heal all the time and tanks to avoid where to stand with boss or not even using CDs when tank buster comes
The people who want's parsers want it mainly for primals and savage raids. Since many can't pull the weight off being a dps, either ignore the problem being bad, doesn't take criticism, refuses to take advice, won't look up guides, play how they want (ice mage etc). Those reasons are why many can be extremely frustrated and then suddenly blow off and call people shit. If you think parsers will bring more problems to the game, that's because many still refuses to get better when one (maybe) officially will be in the game. Many of those exist and who knows maybe there will be more of those players if a parser eventually happens.
Please anti parser people, since you guys want to avoid having more jerks in game if parsers come out, and obviously your statement is to drop it completely so they wont be more of them.
How can we have people who refuses to take advice, get better or simply stop ''play the game how they want'' attitude? Or we gonna keep them out? Last time I checked this is an MMO and I'm sure many who are into parsing want to include more people as long they are more than willing to do so, but as many people know there is a huge group who won't.
