An Alternative? to parsers..

People do that now in PF. But it amounts to "if we get a group where too many people aren't doing enough DPS, disband and hope next time those people get spread out amongst more groups that can carry them."

The lottery model of party creation isn't the most awesome thing I've ever heard of for high end content.

Every time you step into an instance with a stranger, you're already using a lottery model for the creation of the party.

Yes, but I'm not using the "if it fails, just assume other people were bad and hope it works out next time" plan. I can see pretty clearly what went wrong if I parse it, and if I'm part of the problem (which has been the case before), I know that and can try to do something about it.

Without any insight into why the group failed, all I can do is assume someone else was bad and try it with different people.
