Built-in Parsers

[Niwashi]

It doesn't really matter what it was designed to be, me and lots of my friends play it as a competitive game because we like to be good and push each other to be better. For people like us, being as efficient as possible *is* fun. I'm so sick of seeing "lots of people don't care about their dps, they play for *fun*", as if people who do care about their performance don't have fun.

It's not that people think *you* don't have fun that way. It's simply that a lot of people are sick and tired of others telling them that they *have* to play that way, whether they find it fun or not. Highly competitive top tier stuff is a niche. Some people like it and some people don't. With a personal parser, you and your friends could get all the fun out of it you want, but would simply have a harder time telling casuals you wind up in a leveling dungeon with that *THEY* have to meet standards that the game doesn't set, but only you yourself do.

You can go ahead and have fun that way. Just don't insist that other people do. If it's just about your own fun, then seeing your own stats should be all that you need. Seeing other people's stats is for taking over their game from them and insisting they play it your way.

I've literally never told anyone in a dungeon what their dps is, and neither have any of my friends. What's the point? Usually they don't listen anyway, when all you're doing is trying to get them to use aoe on dungeon packs, or use literally anything other than doton on a single target boss. If people wanted to improve, they'd already have been doing it by then.
