Oh okay lol. Yeah you’re right. Every year when I visit the doctor he’s looking for a reason to keep me from telling pilots where to go. I thought maybe you were a controller or pilot as well, but medicine was one of my other guesses!

You don’t see it because that isn’t the same as banning GDKP so that argument is a completely nonsensical one you made up.
Cool, tower or radar?
It’s irrelevant either way when gray (and a few green) parses will complete the content, which is why we keep pointing out how dumb it is.
If you like that sort of thing, great. Glad you enjoy it.
Can you imagine if you showed up at a baking convention or something stupid like that and there was a group of grandmas telling the rest of the baking enjoyers they were bad at it because they didn’t show up with an 8 tiered full fondant monstrosity (I have no idea if that’s even a thing I don’t bake). Like bro it’s a GD baking convention. It doesn’t matter.

I’m sure they are watching it.
Tower, baby! I save my “sit in a dark room and stare at a screen” time for when I’m off work and can do it voluntarily.

Hahaha nice! Worked in the tower a few years when I was an ATCer in the Air Force. You get such a unique perspective on aviation when you learn the language of the skies.
Thanks for keeping us safe!

Best single indicator of YOUR idea of performance.
In my raids I value someone’s sense of humor more than anything else. The more fun they make the raid, the better they are at raiding imo.
I think you’re absolutely TERRIBLE at making waffles because it takes you at least 90 seconds longer than it takes me per waffle. Do you see how stupid that sounds?
Parsing is a HOBBY. Acting like it’s some measure of “performance” for people who aren’t into that hobby is asinine.
Docs have an incredibly high accident rate.
Apparently, planes don’t care if you’re God.

Sure you can define performance however you want.
Parsing measure performance at doing the content.
I generally raid with people I enjoy spending time with, so social measures of performance are not needed.
They’re also the biggest indicator that someone will quit the raid the moment the item they are target hunting doesn’t drop. That’s probably why you see 5/7 LFMs.
The best way to ensure 7/7 is to avoid parsing culture completely.
Well if you peek at someone’s warcraft logs you can see if they have 5/7 raids.
The high parsers are generally running with people they know (because kill time helps parses a lot) - so they are unlikely to be in 5/7 runs.
And waffle cook time measures performance at cooking waffles.
Repeating something doesn’t make it less dumb.
Lots of advertisements in the looking for group channel have log prerequisites. I’m suggesting that if you join those groups, you will be more at risk for going 5/7 due to people dropping group when what they want doesn’t drop. That’s a self-centered mentality, and I’ve noticed a lot of overlap in narcissism and parsing culture.
It does not - it measure waffle cook time.
If you cook them fast and they taste bad, or cook them slowly and they taste bad, they are not good waffles. Sum time isn’t an indicator of waffle cooking performance.
It is very hard (yet possible) to get a high parse and make good waffles if that makes sense.
That’s why the website tracks tons of other data is one really wants to breakdown the events and see exactly what happened.
The only players I have seen drop group in Era or SoD - have been retail / wotlk tourists. They die in an embarrassing way or there is a wipe, and they ‘DC’ - never say anything.
I don’t really look at parses in SoD because the content is basically impossible to fail - but in Era if you are doing naxx invites or something, parses are a nice indicator of whether someone will carry their weight.
You can also look at their gear and get a decent idea of whether they understand how the game works, but parses simply encompass more data than whether one can gear properly does.
Literally making my point for me.
Air Force is where I learned to do it too, lol. Thanks for your service, brother.

I’m starting to think you misunderstand how parses work.
It measures damage / healing done on a successful encounters (i.e. the waffles tastes good).
The 1-100 number represent your personal dmg / healing relative to other players of your class within a set amount of time.
Thus it shows your performance towards that kill.
Is there ways to cheese the metrics, yes. Is it perfect, no. Is there a better indicator of performance - no. Also if you think someone is cheesing their parses you can see, every single moment of a fight on warcraft logs and easily find out.
