Do you know what happens when you sprint during a marathon?

Not sure what your looking at, but you need to clean your glasses or get your eyes checked.
Just simply pulling my toon up on wowlogs has me as a blue. My worst dps listed was a green 847.
Parse measures and compares you to all wow classic players. That much information is crap! I am only concerned with how I am doing in my current raid. Nothing else matters.
Why don’t you log in with your real account so we can see the truth.
You’re still aiming for the fastest possible time over the determined distance when the clock is actually going. So if you were complaining about there not being more competitive races… it would be a stupid counter for someone to be like “Well maybe you shouldn’t run so fast if you’re so mad about there not being enough content!!” It’s nonsense.
While the clock is running on a raid, people like to clear as fast as possible because pushing yourself is the only thing that keeps it from being completely monotonous after a point. That doesn’t preclude wanting more raiding content.
I mean, what are you hoping for? Some big gotcha moment? It aint there I’m afraid. Best case you see my parses and instantly start making excuses for why they don’t matter etc etc.
IDK. I play for fun, and typically I succeed.
People like you and the chest thumpers who think that speed running in an old easy game because they’d never be able to do it in a mythic raiding environment makes them good and then come here to the forums to attempt to berate people is beyond silly.
That’s why most of you do it. It’s an E-peen thing, and it’s as boring now as it was in 2005.
Like I just said, I do not care about parse numbers.
He’s hiding behind an alt because he’s merciful. lmao

I honestly feel bad for you, I love raiding and having a good time with guildies during raids. The experience you just described sounds stressful and boring. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to keep a certain pace… but at the cost of having a good time and relaxing? Absolutely not lmfao
I think you are overestimating how much rushing actually effects the clear time… so what you cleared Kara in an hour and a half as opposed to 2 hours… at what cost? I get there are guilds that want to push and want to be top… but the prevalence of this is much greater than it used to be… to the point that you search people’s Warcraft logs in order to dog on them for NOT doing what you just described above… none of that is actually required because the game IS easy… the hardest part is finding people that are consistent and reliable.
Maybe it’s just a culture thing? Were you one of those kids who weren’t ever allowed to keep score when you played games? Because it kinda seems like you were… Using metrics to push yourself and create competition isn’t “an epeen thing.” For a lot of people, “win or lose” it just makes things more interesting… Maybe you were raised differently and taught that competition and scores are evil? I suppose theres no accounting for culture.
today i learned tbc isnt for drinking beer and having a good time while raiding but obsessing over wow logs and bis list… sounds less fun and fast way to burn out
One doesn’t preclude the other
See above
You just keep attempting to make things more obscure than what they are.
You are no better at WoW than any typical raider.
You aren’t speed clearing mythic in retail.
You aren’t ‘winning’ or ‘losing’ anything. You’re clearing the same content I am. The difference is that you’re hiding behind an alt making dubious claims about being better than someone based on numbers that you personally have less control over than your raid does.
The only person who cares about your parses is you. I promise you. Your raid leader might care if there are issues with raid performance, but that is a different sort of interest than the one you have.
I don’t care about your parses for example-because TBC is easy as hell.
The funniest part about all of this is that there is absolutely 0 reward for clearing the raid faster, besides being able to stroke your ego on a forum filled with people who don’t care.
This community is so bad lmfao it’s not like people are congratulating each other on faster clear times and looking to help each other out and give tips… no… it’s literally just people **** talking each other about parses and clear times in a social game.

Those same people are then surprised and offended by the fact that absolutely no one cares about their parses other than them.
It’s a statistic your raid leader is going to use to determine whether you should be benched or replaced.
Lmfao sounds like a job almost, what if my raid leader likes me? What if the person is doing enough damage? Should they replace that person with someone that isn’t fun to be around?
This is a social game bud, it will always be a social game.
Just to reiterate, your dps would have to be absolutely terrible while simultaneously you would need to be near anti social to be replaced for this reason. Are there people that suck that get benched? Sure. Does this happen as often as you think it does? No because the game is brain dead easy and doesn’t actually require full tilt min max to clear any of the content.
It is totally dependent on the guild and the raid leader, and the content being raided. But I think it happens way more often than you think.
While it is a social game indeed, people who put in the time to get pre-bis, have consumables, etc. typically don’t appreciate low hanging fruit in their raids. And if everyone ends up having a lax attitude towards it, you’re much less likely to progress. Wiping all night every week tends to get old quickly. What good is being a social guild if your guild is a revolving door?
People can love you as a person, but if you’re not willing to or cannot put in the time to get pre-bis, full enchants, full consumables, etc. you will end up getting benched or replaced in anything more serious than casual group because you’re dragging everyone down with you. It’s all about the benjamins. Consumables are expensive and you’re raid group is unable to progress or progressing too slowly due to lack of DPS, people start looking to parses to see what or who the problem is.
Absolutely parses are a good way to determine what is going wrong and what we can improve… but that’s not how they are used 90% of the time.
Most guilds are casual guilds, obviously someone who is in dog**** gear without enchants doesn’t deserve to be there over someone who isn’t. But, when we look at how people actually use parses MOST of the time… it’s irrelevant because whether you are doing 900 dps or 1200 dps on moroes it doesn’t matter because the boss still falls over.
Maybe if you’re smol brained and only focus on the number, logs can tell you what consumes we’re used, buffs received, mechanics ignored, threat gained, etc…
If you’re concerned about ‘manufactured parses’ you can just click on it and tell in 2 seconds that they stacked someone for a high parse. (If that’s how they have fun, who cares anyways).
All these parse haters literally just focus on the BIG NUMBER GO BIGGER and ignore the fact that those people use logs for so much more way before getting to that point.
Haven’t seen this much primate-posturing since my last visit to the zoo.
