An Alternative? to parsers..

[KaivaC]

I dont have experience, but i will not be quiet about the parsing, which will affect not only end game stuff, but entire game including low lvl stuff i am playing and the great part of the players as well.

And thanks for proving my point, that mechanical skill is not everything and deaths in the duty matter actually a lot.
A parse will not prevent or teach anyone how to not lame and die each step. But will a pressure "encourage" other people to improve?
How do you want to improve people that plays dps because of their anxiety and dont play a tank because its too stressful?

These guys will either leave the game entirely or limit playing before they will meet other better game.
Like witcher 3 for example, duh.
With a console its easier to juggle the games, since the acceptable level of game performance is much lower than on PC and as a console player you could jump off this game and get the newest one and still be playing in 30 fps. Doing the same on PC, with this game running at 60 fps and the new one at 20 is real deal, it will you push back to the game running at 60 fps.

The Witcher 3 example has no argument here on account of it BEING A SINGLE GAME PLAYER GAME WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR BOTH ITS COMBAT AND GAME ENGINE. If you're going to argue with another game, bring in something relevant. And I'm not even sure why you are now introducing FPS into the discussion. What does that have to do with anything that myself or other recent posters have brought up? What does that have to do with parsing? If you have a PC that cannot handle running a decent FPS, then the player either needs to upgrade or move over to PS4 - that's what I did. Still, I have no idea what you are talking about with consoles and FPS...this is a strawman argument.

Onto the subject of your tank link, it's simple: players who cannot handle tanking because it is 'too stressful' move to another role. Honestly, tanks don't have the most stressful job in endgame - it is healers a large portion of the time because they have to be able to adjust to players missing mechanics, taking damage, watching where everyone is at, etc. No, a parse will not teach anyone mechanics...but it provides a lot of information. It provides exact details on who is doing what, how they are doing it, what killed them, how active they were, etc. On that note, parse (particularly FFLOGS) can and has taught other players what the top 1% in their jobs are doing. I have used FFLOGs to see what other RDMs/SAMs/SMNs are doing, and it has worked wonders for improving my DPS. You've already admitted that you, yourself, have not been in Omega Savage yet. Regardless of whatever gaming experience you have, you don't have that experience HERE. Therefore, until you actually experience it for yourself, you simply cannot understand just by looking at numbers/videos online. And unfortunately, when you do get around to it, because of outgearing, you may not experience it until Sigmascape.

Let me reiterate that none of this even matters if you can't make it past mechanics. All of my comments thus far are meant for clear/farm parties.
