Would you like an in-game parser?

[Reiryuu]

This group wasn't new. I would understand if it was, because I've been in groups with 4 new people and stayed till it was cleared and those people did better than those I was with.
Yeah, third time can work sometimes, not always but sometimes!

I'm glad to see a kind response like this. Now, look back at your comment and how it was presented with that screenshot. Preypacer is saying that people want to enjoy themselves and you're showing a picture of wiping due to an enrage. Saying "I know right, Like this:" Are you meant to imply that all people who want to play to enjoy themselves play like this? Because it can easily be interpreted that way. Did you mean it that way? By your response now, I see no. But before I couldn't be sure.


Sure, we who are arguing against parsers may be exaggerating how often people kick others due to parsed dps, but you guys have to be exaggerating on how many times you, personally, have been in a situation like this picture shows. Me? That one incident I mentioned was the first time I had failed that fight on the first time since the second week of 3.2 and I do that fight every single week multiple times trying to get shafts (getting shafted ftw!) for my non-main jobs [I assume even if foolishly that that's normal not savage because I don't do savage >.>;]

Now, while I'm against parsers, I'm not going to be lighting a torch and going to the offices of SE and saying all people who use parsers should be permanently banned from the game. So, do you spite the few people you run into that have trouble with the fight/learning/doing whatever it is wrong so much that you have to make all of us slaves to your numbers? Do we have to constantly worry that the number hanging over whatever part of our interface SE decides to place it is enough to placate every person we meet? Do the majority of us who do enough to get by have to play your way, because I'm not asking you to play my way.

Option to turn it off?

There is an option to skip cut scenes in dungeons the first time you enter by pressing escape (and one in the options to turn off all previously viewed cut scenes). How many people do you see raging over people who want to watch the cutscenes in main story dungeons their first time through? I mean, it should be an option, right? But people basically require people who feel they need to Duty Finder these dungeons to skip them.

People are basically required to speed run dungeons these days too. Personally, I hate speed runs. It's one of the reasons I am scared to death of tanking in high end content because I don't main tank and I don't have the confidence to pull large groups of mobs. But so long as the tank doesn't go too overboard on me (I main whm), I generally don't mind too much. But I do enjoy a nice casual dungeon romp when the chance presents itself.

Short in short, in the DF there are no options. You play everyone's way or people get upset.
