I don't want to use parsers

[Craiger]

I worry that even if DPS/Total Damage values were shown to under-performing players, they would still put just as much effort in as they usually do. Sure there will be those who try harder when they found out their performance but what happens to those who don't use the information? Would you kick them for it? My question is what will the community do to those people?

It won't work on all players, but there are a ton of people that play on consoles and can't see their DPS... And when they ask about it, and see that they don't do as much DPS as they want, they many times try to improve. That's the biggest point about having an in-game parser.

Also, if someone isn't doing enough DPS for raid content, and they don't care about it, then yes... You could kick them.

Only reason you don't see people pointing out DPS of others, is because they could get banned for doing it, but trust me... if someone is doing way too low DPS, they will get kicked, or people will simply leave the group (usually the latter one).

The positives of adding an in-game parser heavily outweighs the negatives IMO.
