Built-in Parsers

[Estelle9lives]

This is the only way to make the parser safe. But most of you will argue with the "why I can't kick the under-performing player?". If you think this, you DON'T WANT a parse to see statistics and help improve, you want it to exclude people.

This is an absolutely terrible attitude to have.

It's not a matter of excluding people, if you are under performing badly for the end game content you signed up for, I'm sorry but you have no place there - specially on a party that already has 7 other people ready to clear and are being held back by a single individual. In this case said player should take a step back, and do their research on their job.. Everyone has the right to learn, but no one has a right to ruin other people's fun and make the instance a frustrating experience. Excluding people already happens with the current parse, so that point is moot. What I would like is for people to be able to see their numbers and have a drive to improve, as many seem to be ignorant on how bad they are doing.

I helped some people clear O1S and there were instances where I was outdps'ing actual DPS players on a White Mage. This is also a common occurence on Ex Roulette - I'm not expecting people to perform at world level on roulettes, of course, but being able to outdps your healer in single target damage is the bare minimum I'd ask. Maybe - just maybe if they could see their actual numbers they'd think "damn, I could do better".

The majority of player base consider good being able to beat a duty, not the damage deal on them. Most people come to play and not worry much about things. Making a tool that can be potentially used to cause a negative atmosphere will cause that player stop play this game. Since majority are ignoring the parsing, the amount of player that can be lost due this will cause a heavy lost in money for SE. it is not only morality and education, it also also economic. Those player you mock, harass, kick because number are paying this game too. If they stop play, you know what will happen. A player who cannot play or is discriminate will stop play. They won't think "oh, maybe I can improve my DPS and I won't be kicked!", most of them they just stop play.

Why exactly do people think making parses official is suddenly going to transform everyone into a complete jerk? This tool is already widely used. You act as every higher performance player who does a roulette goes around kicking people because they didn't reach 99% of their damage potential. As long as SE keep their policy of no harassment regarding DPS numbers (which is VERY strict, mind you), I think people's attitudes would hardly change.

Not only is this a horrible attitude but this also breeds bad players. It's pretty much saying; hey it's okay to be bad so we gonna do it for ya. If someone is a bad performer they can't be in the group, knowing this person can't either do mechanics or dps or both. It's simple. When 7 people can do it why can't the last one too? Like honestly too many players in the game let the bad players get away, thats also a reason why many are bad in the first place. Second reason is when they actually get told, they will think we are just saying it to offend them. There is so many reasons for why they think it's offensive but there is clearly one that makes them believe so: Players who say it's fine to be bad and let them keep doing it.
