Would you like an in-game parser?

[Sebazy]

For every person using it as a helpful tool, there are at least three people being unhelpful tools. Either to stroke their own ePeen, by being condescending pricks tp attack those they deem inferior, or simply to try and segregate themselves from the "baddies".

Either you're playing in a manner that paints a target on your own back or you grossly underestimate the number of people that parse.

The overwhelming number of people won't say a peep about dps numbers and such simply because it's a near guaranteed temp ban the moment you put someone's back up.

For most people, they only care about themselves, their static and their triggers.

One thing that is worth noting on this though, even though I'm very much for parsing and such, I do think that even if SE do make moves to build a parser into the game, they should keep to their current rules regarding harassing others over numbers. Simply put, don't do it or you spend time in the GM Jail, no ifs, no buts.

Though no one really wants a personal parser but a small minority, the rest want public parsers so they can ostracize the unworthy under the guise of "helpful tool".

Whilst I do think it's a huge shame that you feel that way, I do at least agree in the sense that a personal parser is a good first step forward. A group wide parser just isn't necessary for casual content and I don't think the community as a whole is ready for that quite yet.

As fot the "no evidence" replies, come on. How many times:

1. have you done a dungeon that takes five-ten more minutes over the average time?

How about over 30 minutes? I've done Skalla in 17 minutes with 1 DPS and 2 healers with FC mates, very few roulette groups do it in under 20.

2. Wiped multiple times in a hard mode trial

The only thing hard about most hard modes is the difficulty in managing to wipe when one of the healers has a pulse =(

3. vote abandoned a 24 man run

Rabanastre's steadily got better now thankfully, I didn't bother with it last week but I'll give it another crack tonight to try and farm up a piece I want.
