THIS ISN'T EVERY OTHER GAME. IT IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAVE THESE TOOLS.

You have options on a commercial level to play games that foster this type of enviroment you speak of.

Go play them if that is what you seek. I know where to go if I want to game in this cess-poll of e-peeners.

I am grateful that I do not have to endure this behavior on a daily bassis as of right now. It makes my experience enjoyable. Adding these tools will take away from my daily enjoyment of this game, because I will be forced to live in a community that has people abusing these tools.
If your being abused daily, the problem might be with you and not combat logs.

and they already said theyre adding them

you can make a car that doesn't have an air conditioner... but trying to insist that's a feature rather than a problem is a bit absurd...

I would love to agree with this other then the fact I have to work so much harder then any ranged with my Sent and I know I pull my own weight. I would just like to know why I am the only one that can actually do this consistently. I want to weed out the bad players from the group so I can have a better experience then I currently get because they just want to sit there and press 1 button thinking they are "DPSing". Sorry but I really wish it could be as like what you said but some people like to slack off and let everyone else do the work and I personally don't want to carry everyone through ops.

Like EVERY game it will have these tools. This game already has/will have the game I want..its 3 difficulty modes in operations.

You don't sound harsh to me, its ok, I understand you do not get enjoyment from getting better at playing games. I am sure you completely understand that I myself love trying to improve at the things I do, I enjoy using tools to do so. Combat log or no combat log the epeen you fear will be here...it is a game with different levels of mastery.

You simply have to choose to play with like minded players and you will have no problem.

So it doesn't actually lead to e-peening.

The reality is that the e-peening is going to be there, with or without the parsers. They just find a different metric to use (one that's less quantifiable and harder for people to overcome)
People like you like to say this. But it is flat out false.

I have not expereinced any problems up to this point in 2 months of playing SWTOR - with e-peening gamers. 0 problems with people getting in arguments about who is pulling what weight in a flashpoint, or heroic 4 content. I have not seen 1 parse. I have not seen 1 problem.

Pretty fair to say, that one thing leads to another.

When there are no guns allowed inside of a building, nobody dies from a gunshot wound.

You simly have to choose to lay with like minded players and you will have no problem.

I in fact have faced exactly what u fear. As have many many players. Enrage timers have caused stress in HM flashpoints.

there is nothing false about that. We have just been so fortunate to have a decent, tolerable community.

and your gun analogy is just plain retarded.

It's completely unbelievable for an MMO made in the 21st century to not have a combat log.

What is wrong with you, Bioware?

It is already there, they are just not giving it to the players yet. I suspect this is due to huge class imbalances. They are simply stalling until they can direct attention to class balance patches...in my opinion of course.
