A self-improvement tool is needed in this game, especially for end game

This does not even need to be a parser. Make it a grade screen at the end of the dungeon with some basic categories like damage taken, cool down used, and an acceptable total percent of damage done. They could even work in bonuses for getting higher grades.

[Lastelli]

So he's technically allowing us to parse?

Yes. You can even talk about it, as long as you don't use it to harrass other players. It is true that the ToS forbid the use of third party tools, but even they know how stupid it is to forbid parsers in a game where everything revolves around dps. Also, they know full well that a very high percentage of the player base uses ACT.

A stupid restriction is bound to be ignored by those who are subject to it and will not be enforced by the regulators. That's simply how it is, both in the game and in the real world.

So I guess we'd need to figure out what SE considers harassment.

If I'm in an end game dungeon and a dps is doing like 2k damage, I wonder if saying something politely would count as harassment or not.

Harassment is in the eye of the beholder. My breathing could be harassment in some circles.

Probably what most reasonable individuals consider harrassment. I seriously doubt that they will start banning players because some special snowflakes felt offended that someone politely told them that they are underperforming and they need to leave the party. We are paying customers after all.

No need for a tool. Just put enrage timers in normal. Leniant ones for sure but not overly so. Like 15 minutes for normal alphascape fights, 7 minutes for dungeon bosses etc.

There is the SSS, even if its bare boned.

Maybe make it a requirement for you to kill the dummy to be allowed in the duty. Add a timer so you get some kind of time keeping on how fast you killed the dummy. Basically if everyone in the party can kill the dummy then you "potentially" have enough dps to kill the boss.

"I know how people can be" will never not be an anecdote. I grant you that it's your opinion, and your anecdote can fuel your opinion; it's just not a very convincing argument.

Yet it's still a sound argument.

[Lastelli]

Yet it's still a sound argument.

Well, it's a deeply paternalistic argument that can be easily extended to an indefinite number of other features, ultimately claiming that any kind of interaction between players should be banned because of how it can potentially result in harrassment.
