Would you like an in-game parser?

Unfortunately the pandering and fear of upsetting people in the game mechanics is leading to more and more anti-social behavior within the game. People don't feel incentive to work together to beat tough content because the game is turning into a conveyor belt of easy to obtain BiS gear. Which is the mentality I would love to see the game shift away from.

So from my perspective, what you are saying is actually happening, and it is sad.

Problem with this game, it's very linear when it comes to games or raids, even dungeons and trials and so on. They set everyone for 1 spesific way to obtain gear, raids and tomestone capping. However, as you said, you don't want more anti social behavior, it's already happening and for that there are plenty reasons, not just because of parsers. If parsers do happens, yes there can be some people being all crazy about it, but same time I think many would actually use the tool if they had the option for it and improve. Which leads to more people doing more things together that many wished they could do for a long time, but due to not having too many ways to improve there is only so much a person can do. I'm not saying parser is a miracle tool, because it's not, but it's a tool many would love to have. If there is something that can help you out, why not?

@Reynhart I know you wouldn't hide, because you don't have anything to hide. You are confident about it, you are willing to improve, however there are MANY who aren't and they would hide.

It's still their choice. Only the game can enforce something on them, not the players. The solution is to gate the content more. That's the purpose of "minimum ilvl required", too.

Which is totally fine with me as I have stated, I just find it shady. However, I wish people have more positive sides of learning their classes or pulling enough weights on it. As much as I would love to teach a whole group how to dps or do mechanics, I have my limits. I was helping a group for 3 hours once and we barely saw any progression, makes me think I wasted my time, but same time not, because I was there willing to wipe for ages. Some in that group sadly refused to listen and we didn't kick them either to see if they actually did better, which never happened. But gate content, would love more of that tbh. I agree very much of that!
