Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

[zosia]

So, instead of compromising with a personal parser and actually communicating, the pro-parser group just wants a tool with which to judge others, fairly or otherwise... The people who the original post would think are on his side really aren't, and would just as soon hang him out to dry as they would the anti-parser group. The original post's question isanswered.

It's about context and leveling the playing field. A personal dps meter is only useful in certain practices, such as tightening up your own rotation. A personal parser provides no context outside of your own performance. A personal parser does not address that concern.

This thread is about leveling the playing field between PC and ps3/ps4 players. Why do you advocate to keep ps3/ps4 players under privileged? Why do the vast majority of PC players get to see the groups dps while the ps3/ps4 players can only see their own, under your suggestions?

Parsers are a standard in MMO gaming, why do you want to hold this game back for the sake of a safe space when we have tools like black lists and reporting features?

This whole "hung out to dry" nonsense will always exists because jerks will always exist. We keep telling you guys this and you cannot really offer up a reasonable retort against the black list and report harassment argument because those features work very well, especially in this game. The only argument the anti-parser crowd has are outlier cases of unchecked harassment (which I don't believe considering this game's GMs do not take harassment lightly), semantic arguments, and the theoretical chance that parser harassment would sky rocket to the point that GM staff will not be able to manage it.

The pragmatic reality of the situation:
Get harassed? Report the offender, black list them, and save the chat logs so they will get their accounts actioned.
Once that happens a handful of times in the community, there will be no real threat of parser harassment.

What proof do I have of that reality?? Parser harassment gets you banned now and how often do we see parser harassment? Oh, right, it's never brought up in-game since people got banned for parser harassment....
