The issue nobody wants to address

You can't really allow players to join groups that parse and hide their own numbers.

That starts from a position where the presumption is that you *WILL* be parsed, making players that don't allow parsing to be the exception.

In FFXIV the current situation (and since the game started in 1.0) is that the presumption is that you *WILL NOT* be parsed and parser use is the exception.

In respect to this 'hiding' something thought, I think that making that judgement on the basic of whether a player enabled or disable parsing of their data is akin to discriminating against those who don't choose to be parsed. Would players presently using a parser appreciate it if they were discriminated against based on their use of a parser? I think not. Neither situation should be tolerable to any of us.
