An Alternative? to parsers..

[Tridus]

i suggest Marjorie Parser. in the monk ex dungeon, marjorie says arbuda is used as a speed test for monks. she will actually tell you how fast you were after the fight. i suggest marjorie be an option for any instances, and she can give advice after a wipe, like, "that tank needs to use cooldowns," or, "your healer isn't dps'ing", or "that monk needs to forget about his positionals and do the damned mechanics". and it won't be harassment, because npc

Yeah that was a pretty clever way to tell people how well they were doing the mechanics.

But would you be happy to wait additional 10 minutes in the queue, due to the low playerbase issues and less people playing a tank or a healer?

I am a healer. My best geared non-healer job is Paladin. So no, this doesn't concern me.

Seriously though, less people are already playing tanks and healers because those roles are much more public in their mistakes. It's obvious when they're doing something wrong. It's much less obvious when a DPS player is doing something wrong. That's why people consider it the low pressure, low skill role, even though that's not especially true when you're playing at a high level. It's much easier to play it at a low level and still have a successful group.

With parser available for everyone, those 2 roles will get increased attention and pressure as well as dps role, because why they shouldnt?

They already do. A tank or healer not doing their basic role requirement effectively stands out like a sore thumb: they cause people to die. A DPS doing that can easily blend in with other people doing it and be carried. All parsers do is make them stick out as well.

Oh you are a paladin and does 5% of the entire team dps, because you are pulling large amount of mobs and your aoe is non existent or your team is overpowering your enimity and need to spam flash? Get called.
Your tank is a soft noodle and you dont have MP to waste it for dps? You will get called.

Does this ever actually happen? If you're active and doing your job, that's all most people expect in roulettes. Parsers show if you're active or not, so I don't see the problem.

With parser so easy to use and supported by SE, there will be people who will use it just to harass mindlessly others because of their dps.
You guys are so worried about the others who afk or spam one button, but forget about those who just cant do that well for various reasons, and they will get harassed more often than those who doesnt care.
You will create a solid ground with in game parser for those seeking excuses, the biggest toxicity victims will be those who doesnt play well or are new to the game or class.

And how does someone who doesn't play well play better if the game doesn't even tell them that they're not playing well? Feedback for DPS players is crummy in that department because for so long it doesn't matter how well you're playing. When it suddenly does and the boss enrages, the game doesn't tell you which players aren't doing enough DPS, so groups devolve into wild finger pointing because they don't have the data to correct the problem.

How is that better?
