Archon Parse Tool Opinion?

Community General Discussion
1

Just wondered what the community thinks about this parsing tooltip showing boss parses for raids in Pug’s ?

I myself have a regular raid group and also do not pug very much (Maybe once a week or so ) , so therefore do not care too much about it but was curious to see if the community think its a good tool or not?

I think that the tool is bad because it adds a number to a player which is highly inaccurate, A player with a high parse is not necessarily a good player as maybe they had less mechanics to deal with , Maybe they stood in everything to try to inflate their parses.

I kind of feel that all this addon will do is fragment a community of “solo” players who rely upon the LFG tool to form their groups which is already fragmented (Ie… Ilvl not high enough, Rating not high enough, or not a meta class), So just kind of adds another hoop for people to jump through for acceptance.

I do think this tool will make it harder for people to get into group due to another factor.

For DPS this tool is bad as it,ll promote bad gameplay to try and inflate numbers
For Healers this tool is even worse it,ll promote heal sniping, and bad overlapping of healing cooldowns and also standing in stuff to try and bloat HPS numbers.
For Tanks this tool is bad

This is just my thoughts and opinions of course some people will say “this is the best addon ever” but again that is their opinion and we can agree to disagree.

PS Anyone who searches me and finds my parse’s I do not care about my parse and neither does my raid groups/mythic + people i run with. As long as I do mechanics and stuff dies people they do not care. :smiley:

There were a few threads last week about it.

As always, people have mixed opinions.

Some feel they will be discriminated against, others feel it’s an easier way to do the log checks they would do anyways while pugging.

Me ? I don’t do high enough keys for it to be important. I’m glad with 10 and 11s.

Logs are irrelevant and so are the people that care about them.

Doesn’t affect M+ so idc.

never cared about these AddOns, or doing the content with PUGS.

Not a fan of it, but it’s just hastening the process of people checking out your character off a website that’s been a thing since forever.

If anything it’ll mean people get accepted or declined a lot quicker so you ain’t wasting your time waiting.

But you can be assured 75% of its users want to be carried… like those “8/8HC 6/8M” ‘Leaders’ that were recently leveled.

I never pug so it doesnt affect me at all. Not a big fan of the idea though cause not everyone who will use it understands how to read logs and understand parses.

Unfortunately I myself stopped declining people since they rejoin all the time. So it will probably not speed up how quickly you’ll be declined… I wish they’d upgrade the tool with a little timeout like 1-3 minutes if you’ve been declined before you can apply to that same group again.

Yeah it’s super annoying when they all don’t respond for whatever reason and I decide to refresh to see what’s open and then apply to the same ones again without realising. -_-

At the very least groups that already rejected you should be put at the bottom with a red background.
