So, I hate to open up this can of worms again, but....

See i don't get this at all.
People keep trowing the whole "you will be harassed" reason yet i played games that had it either build ingame or addons for that and that almost never happened.

Why not just allow it, let people do their thing and report the harassers.

Maybe you just got lucky but I've seen it enough. Maybe not here in XIV, but I have seen it a lot in games like World of Warcraft or Guild Wars 2. Heck, I've seen it happen in XI towards the end which was just sicking to see. And that why I'm against people seeing others dps. Parsers should be allowed on a personal level, so that you, yourself, can check your own dps. Not others. Far be it to me, it just seems like people can't use their brains anymore and fall back on an app to tell them who is under performing and that may not even be the case. Just because someone doing less dps, doesn't mean they aren't performing. One person can pull out a crap load of dps and die, while the person who doing slightly under may be doing a hole hell of a lot better. See what I'm saying?

But in the end, what does this all matter anyway? We all know that someone already built a parser for this game. We already know people are using it, abusing it, etc. Again, rarely are they used for what they should be and again, you just got lucky I suppose.

That puts you in a minority then. Most people don't have problems with harassment and parsing. When they do is far more rare than when they don't.

Also, we dont need a parser because we have a parser is a lame excuse for obvious reasons

Oh boy, this is the new excuse now?
I got lucky? I got over a decade in mmo's and i got lucky?
You are so far overreacting it's no longer funny.
I take my leave here, a wall is a better communication partner, at least that one doesn't try to turn facts into "luck".
