Would you like an in-game parser?

I think the devs have been pretty clear that dps meters are not going to be implemented into the game ever, and have even explained why.

They also once said Paladin will never block magic. Time and opinions change. Furthermore, the explanation they did offer isn't inherently accurate just because they say it. Frankly, it's a bit silly since everyone and their mother knows raiders have ACT running.

Did you watch the Live Letter Part XXXV. Its not going to happen. The devs have been very consistent regarding their stance regarding official dps meters, and even 3rd party being against the ToS. I think the attitude on the forums around dps affirms that people would be jerks if dps meters were officially accepted.

But hey, hold out hope if you want.... I don't see it ever happening.

Personal Housing

While I cannot give a specific date on when personal housing will be implemented, I can say that prices will be completely separate from free company housing, and, naturally, far more affordable.

Because everything said is 100% correct all the time and companies don't cough anything out that is incorrect or false. Never.

Ok, what have the devs stated regarding their stance on dps meters which is incorrect then?

That it'll apparently start getting people harassed for damage numbers despite how it already happens, parser or not. I can't even tell a SMN to use dots without being called a parsing elitist. No numbers.

And honestly, after the statements of other things (Block shouldn't work with magic, because it wouldn't make sense. We can't have play dead, because people'll use them sexually like the M Lala one. Housing will not take up FC houses.)

So, despite it already happening, it won't start happening like the devs say it will if they made an official parser?

Uh... wha?

I'm pro parser myself. Saying some people won't openly harass people over their numbers is a lie. I've seen it myself plenty of times in other games. Not everyone uses a tool supplied to them responsibly. Not everyone abuses it either.

It sucks for the console players that want one won't get one but it is what it is. If it's that desired you'll get yourself a PC and get the parser there and be quiet about it. Or stick with the console and suck it up until they decide to change their stance, if they ever do that is.

It can't start if it's already in progress.

Sorry, my wording was poor.

I meant the reason is because people will harass if they put it in, but they already do it. Not having the parser doesn't mean people won't harass the DRG for not doing combo's.

Apologies if the wording was poor.

Yes. And I never said I believed they'd implement it nor do I "hold out hope." I simply argued putting to what the devs have said in the past means nothing. They have repeatedly changed their minds hence my example.

I now ask what attitude? This entire thread has been largely civil from the pro parse crowd. In fact, I've seen more "toxic" responses from people from the opposite side. You needs only go back a handful of pages to see yet another blind assumption that only "toxic jerks" want parses when the majority who do favour them do so because they want personal improvement and accountability.

Have you not seen all the treads regarding other players not doing enough dps in casual content?
