Just another thread asking for in-game parsing for ps4 users

Yes, it doesnt matter if they are helping, if they are breaking the rules, then they are breaking the rules. And deserve whatever punishment they are given.

And as are you by filing excessive and false reports.

Unfortunately for you, SE isn't going to ban people based on "video evidence" or "guide evidence" that they use parsers, nor are they going to ban people unless they actively harass other players on multiple occasions, which, at those point, it's more they get punished for the harassment aspect, not the parser aspect. Most people get is a "slap on the wrist" or a "stern talking to" in the GM Gaol (see the reddit post someone made after they were reported just for mentioning that they had "parsed purple" and the GM humored them with a question about pineapple pizzas) because SE is aware that players use parsers, and they turn a blind eye to them as long as people aren't jerks about it. Which is the majority of the parsing community.

But, alas, people are gonna be mad at me no matter what I say. It's what happens for being on the end of the extreme. So meh.

No one's mad because your opinion is an extreme one. Lots of people have extreme opinions. They're mad because it's riddled with hypocrisy. You say you dislike parsers because they're used to harass players, while actively trying to get players who may be innocent banned. Then when you get called out on it, your response is:

If its false I'm sorry, but oh well, I'd rather file a report against someone who could be using one and potentially abusing players.

In other words: it's fine to abuse a few players to stop player abuse. The fact that you don't see, or refuse to see, why this is a douche move is the reason for all the heat you're getting.

Everyone everywhere does not have a parser. I know I don't not does my girlfriend. Mater of fact, while I don't mind criticism, if anyone says anything that makes it sound like there's even a a tiny chance of them having a parser and/or using it on a run I'm on I report them. That crap doesn't need to be here and it's annoying enough knowing people still use them.

I'm going to save this post somewhere every time someone wants to whine about how toxic parsing is. This is toxic behavior, and it's basically the norm for anti-parsing. "Report anyone who criticizes me if I think they have a parser."

Also reading "I don't mind criticism" after reading the rest of your awful posts definitely makes that one of the biggest lies I've read this week.

Furthermore, she's actively harassing other players who aren't even harming anyone. As she said, she's not reporting players who are harassing other players (which is something everyone would agree with), she's reporting players based on her feeling or interpretation of something they may have said... You literally couldn't behave worse towards your fellow players even if you were spouting insults to people all day long.

Despite being a "no" everyone everywhere has a parser and can look at their active read-out to know exactly how much damage they are doing and when. As a ps4 player, i can only ask others how i did. At the end. Knowing how subtle changes can affect my parse is vital to mastering a class. Like say on BLM, knowing when to throw thunder3 instead of foul....and stuff

thats ok, but as you can see for yourself in this thread theres a lot of people who will always come up with something like "carrying bad people" or "oooh my feelings are hurt that much that coz i had to carry someone whos isnt that good as me and my run took 3 min longer :P we need parser to show those baaaaaaaaaaaaaad people how bad they really are :P" and so on , wich has nothing to do with your initial request for a parser.

As long theres people like that , we are not gona have an official parser^^

That is why many are calling for Personal Parsers, you know so only the user can see their own damage, how can this be toxic like say a parser where everyone can see?
I would love an add on for parsing but this topic which has been around for a while i do not believe it would ever come to reality

See, even with all my "toxicness" I had agreed to this, and even mentioned it, I none of my posts.

Personal parsers won't allow you to berate other players.

[Maero]

Oh i was not quoting you, just putting it out there that if by whatever miracle it happens, personal parsers would be the way to go and would help players.
The other parsers that currently already exist i can see some abuse

If Square were to only give us personal parses, people would be quick to ask for screenshots of said parses to compare and to analyze, as well as to give feedback. The lack of transparency might cause worse situations and behaviour imho.

Since enrages are a thing in group content, there should be a group parser available. The group parser should only be limited to party finder groups, so that players could choose to join or not to join groups that are using one. Or, it could be limited to only Raid Finder content (Savage and Extremes), which is the only (current) content with DPS checks, and the people who join this content should be willing to do their part for the part DPS.

Yup, the parsers should definitely be group parsers, for transparency is the only way to guarantee fairness.

And again, as a reminder, implementing a parser still does not mean any harassment would be allowed.
