Don’t you guys think the parse culture is making WOTLK worse? I mean, what does parsing even mean in P1 when the raid is as easy as the heroic dungeons?
Do you really need a 3rd party website to tell you if you are having fun in an MMO? If so maybe you’d be happier in a game with an actual competitive scene like OW2. Of course you’d need skill for this… You can’t just cheese it like you can in WOW by using exploits and bugs.
Classic is not designed to be competitive (in PVE). It’s a social MMO meant for hanging out with friends. You kill the boss and you get the loot and you hang out with friends. Relax and have fun for once in this social game.
Also, parsers, no one cares about your logs man. Stop showing them to other people. You are like the annoying neighbor who just had kids and thinks everyone wants to see pictures of them wherever you go. They really don’t. Just keep your parses to yourself. Hang them on your wall in a nice picture frame or something so you can remember them when you are old and still trying to parse in classic wow.
The only thing people actually care about is what gear you have, not how you got it. GDKPs have proven this.
If you want to be competitive learn to PVP and then someone may actually care about your rating. No one is going to remember your parses.
Because you know retail is bringing some of it’s toxic culture into a game where the classic community wants to ruin the game for others with it’s toxicity as well. Balanced. At least it’s a team effort to tear it all down… maybe they’ll relaunch WOTLK in 10 years, CORRECTLY.
Most people i’ve seen here shaming others for their parses are usually alts or retail avatars with no logs. Burning people on their parses are lukewarm at best.
I think parses are what you make of them. I like them to see how I can improve. Other people use them as a way to suggest someone else is somehow inferior to them in life, and that’s kinda sad.
