In competition with myself: a request for PERSONAL parsers

[RichardButte]

I don't disagree with your notion, it's the caving in that I disagree with. I'm honestly tired of "half-assed" fixes like the upcoming glamour changes. I get that making an actual optimal solution takes time/money/effort, but I'd rather NOT have the glamour log until 5.0 if it's actually good, rather than getting something that's barely an improvement now. That just ends up pushing the real implementation even further out.

You're preaching to the choir, I assure you.

There's also a crazy amount of hypocrisy in the fact that tanks and healers have the equivalent of parsers as everyone can tell when they mess up.

I really wish I was exaggerating, alas, that's not something screenshots do. And no, they weren't dead the whole time (5 deaths, and they got raised reasonably promptly on all but one occasion, there's no way I was hard casting a raise on them after their performance earlier on), neither were they lagging or DCing, their movement was smooth and consistent, as was their partners.

Looking at the log a bit more closely would almost have you believe they were sat in the corner AFK but the replay shows otherwise. From the first minute alone I'd almost wonder if they were either a bot or simply auto following their partner and being multi boxed. But once the panic clearly sets in and they pretty much drop any attempt at casting much of anything, you can clearly see that they are aimlessly running around with all of their effort being channeled into simply staying alive. They simply shouldn't have been there as they didn't have the mechanical aptitude or awareness to cope with the content. As unbelievable as it is, it would have been better for them to simply be AFK as at least they wouldn't have been such a burden on myself or the one other decent healer there.

Oh my...

I heaven't even looked at much stuff on fflogs...
But wow.

That was some poor performance.
