2/22/2012 -> Can we get an update on where the Combat Log is?

And there is the real reson you guys want a combat log, not to improve yourselves, but to kick people you deem unworthy. You said it yourself.

I'm not a victim. I bought this game and am playing it the way it came out of the box. I am succeeding, and I am having fun.

Your refusal to acknowledge how add-ons like this have a negative impact on a community shows me that you do not argue in good faith, that you argue with an agenda, and that you are incapable of seeing something from another person's point of view.

Which is exactly the reason someone like you shouldn't have access to a combat parser in a social game.

I have clearly stated many times that I see the mathematical advantages to using a DPS parser.

I have clearly stated I see the advantages to parser and combat logs when it comes to determining what has transpired in a combat scenario to cause a whipe.

I have conceded these things as being beneficial

They are beneficial at the cost of a civil community. Your refusal to recognize that is the glaring reason you will never win this argument with me.

This is why its considered a GAME. And you can say that guessing is a feature of it which makes things more difficult, which you guys want anyway.

even though the data itself has many valid proper uses.

Like?

It all comes down to calling people out you deem unworthy in a video game that we play for recreation. There are other ways of finding out if the players are not carrying their weight. One simple one being "What spec are you and what is your DPS rotation"

No I didn't. I've stated the reasons I want one.

I'm saying the reason that you DON'T want one is that you're afraid you won't get carried anymore. And the fact that you're claiming I want to kick people, when I've stated the exact opposite, just confirms your fear.

You're don't want to see data because you think it will make you look bad, and so you want that data restricted, even though the data itself has many valid proper uses.

In short - I don't want the SOCIAL CESS-POOL these tools create, so that you can have your epeen measuring stick, in a game that doesn't require it, because people are clearing NM content every single day on servers all across America.

Are you even listening to what people are saying? You keep coming back to the fact that we are personally afraid of being excluded from content based on a parse.

That couldn't be further from the truth.
