Would you like an in-game parser?

If parsers become official, then I'd fear we'll see less and less people taking time to look upon others and teach them. They'll just say "Go parse yourself !"

And, like I said earlier, the more people will focus on crunching numbers, the more we'll see content requiring to crunch numbers.

This is probably also why we won't see special effects on gear. If it allows for even 1% more DPS, then it will become a requirement for any content. And if it makes you lose this 1%, then people will neglect it.

Nope, I honestly think it will have the opposite effect you mention. They will most likely ask for advice and people help. I know some won't but the bigges main problem is many refuses to get better and I honestly think once they see how bad or good they are, they are willing to get better and I'm pretty sure they will enjoy it and have more fun doing so .
Many refuses and play however they want and that's why many ''parser people'' gets really frustrated. I'm not saying all are the same but this is simply my own experience when I was on the ps4 for 2 years.
