Gamparse & the 'rogue' rogue

[Arynquad]

Without fail, there is one particular rogue in my guild whose % Accuracy and % Hit stats for Pierce, Slash and Backstab are always shown as 100% in the "Breakdown" column. Literally the only melee/pet that this happens with - and not just in my guild, but on parses where other guilds' melee are being logged.

Even if this particular player has toggled off some melee filters... that wouldn't affect server-side logging, correct? So it begs the question: what could possibly be causing this?

The rogue:-

Gamparse has had some problems for years. I understand it's convenient, but I wouldn't trust it's numbers. It is easy to do manual parsing if you want accurate numbers, but it will be a bit less convenient. I use notepad++ to aggregate the data I want to parse, and then I use some simple javascript to loop through it and add up the values.

Rogue isn’t turning on auto attack, is just spamming a bunch of pre-programmed macros of /em pierces %t for xyz points of damage.

It would be amazing if the rogue got a guild kick for macroing fake attacks. To date the most egregious raid sin is hiding for AFK DKP…

That would be really funny. I don't see the benefit of doing this though, since that is more work than actually autoattacking. Especially with haste, rogues put out a lot of messages. You'd need to press the macros quite often. Maybe the guy just really wants to pretend to be at the top of the DPS list every time? I am curious if they are number 1 in the parses, at least among other rogues.

It would be easy to check this, as the rogue in question wouldn't be doing their attack animations if they had autoattack turned off.

No. A player cannot tell the server to hide their miss messages for all other players in any normal situation. Chat filters are always local to your machine. They would need to be actively hacking the server somehow to do that, which is unlikely. It would be more probable that a bug in the server code is somehow not sending down this players messages, but that is still unlikely.

Obviously they spam intimidate while doing so! They get to fake the best dps while doing no damage, taking no aggro, eating no rampage nor enrage, having no faction hits. It is the most roguely thing I've ever conceived since the great sea fury heist!

If it is this, it is great that it likely takes more APM to acheive.
I dunno whether to be impressed or depressed.

Both.

On the one hand it's makes complete sense for a Rogue to do this from a roleplaying perspective, as Jimjam pointed out. Not a lot of P99 players roleplay these days in a game genre with "roleplay" in the name.

On the other hand, that is a lot of work to put in to screwing over your guild, and downplaying the actual DPS achievements of other players. At least AFK players make sense, people are lazy. This scam is more work than simply playing the game and helping out.

It would be interesting to look at the log for one of those parses to try to figure out what's going on.

I know you miss me. Thanks for thinking about me!

im just pointing out you have no parses that matter because you dont raid, thanks

haha no, definitely not. he's a legit top-tier parsing rogue.

I get Gamparse might have its issues, but this is an aberration that really makes no sense.

I have plenty of raid parses. I raided for years. I know you just miss me. Thanks again for thinking about me, I know you just want to raid with me.

I hate to say this because it’s extremely lazy but I wouldn’t worry. Gameparse is best when trying to figure out stuff for you, not other people.

I think I had better attendance during my 3 month Aftermath app when I deleveled Cec to level 4 and refused to raid.

That probably means my attendance was better than yours when I was in Aftermath:)
