Forcing NA Duty Finder to be better, we need a grading system.

[MihaelB]

Do you realise how much work this would entail? This means SE having to take into account every move of every boss and mob in every dungeon, trial and raid. The system would not only have to provide numbers for each player but then determine whether these numbers were acceptable in relation to each and every single mechanic that was executed.

Not to mention that parties react to mechanics differently and have their own strategies and neither has to be incorrect. Even if SE took upon this absolutely massive task, it still would never be 100% accurate.

Like I mentioned previously a few pages back, a parsing website already contains an algorithm for recording various factors. I'll add on that they record every factor regarding the boss, mob, mechanic, limit break, player cast spells, time duration of spells. every cast within the instance and more.

This is recorded via the packets in the game which already exists. What's necessary for further development is to create a formula for the data they already have in the game which in my opinion, personal experience in information technology project development and basic common sense, is not harder to develop than current content they put out.

We can basically even re-use the PVP damage interface and tweak it for the grade assessment.

Some other people have mentioned each instance/ duty may be different and yes this is true. It would be up to the development team to further decide if they want to tweak factors for each class based on the fight to assess the grading structure for the fight but that's us looking past the preliminary creation of the system.

Regards to 100% accuracy, the average sum of data in regards to your performance would be more than ideal of an accurate assessment in my personal opinion.
