If you add a parser now, many people will be ashamed of their numbers. It will be discouraging for them to do duties.
Dev team is trying to lower the gap between players in Stromblood with battle system revamp. If it does work then the likelihood of having a parser in game will increase.

But adding it when the gab is huge is a big mistake. Those who use it regularly on daily basis know how bad the situation is..
All of a sudden .. parser shows MT as top dps. This will shock players who thought that they have been playing well all this time.

Adding such feature will make more damage than good when the gap is too large. But if the gap was small then they will see room for improvement.

The gap problem isn't about how the current system is, the gap problem is because people don't know how they perform and most people do think they perform good enough. Doing a dummy strike wont help much as people think it will. It will let you know you do a rotation find on a dummy for 3-5 min. KNowing the actually fight with doing decent/good amount is a whole different thing. A tool would help more than anything. Tools are there to help, not to screw people up. But sadly a big majority are narrow minded and refuse to try or belive they doing good enough. I do agree at some ppint it will bring people to be ashamed of themselves, I was once too, but when people taught me and parsed me through fights, because of ps4 here, I got a lot better and it's so much more fun!

I never said that the current system is wrong or bad. It is not the cause for the big gap we have now.
If we had a parser since the beginning (Since FFXIV:ARR) things might have been better. I'm just pointing out that adding it now when the gap is huge is a mistake.

At the moment, if they wanted to add a parser, it should only be for EX and Savage. Where dps check is a thing. Anyone queueing for them or joining PF for them is automatically agreeing to be parsed.

Again, this will turn many people away from such content. The devs don't want this. They want to encourage people to do hard content and they want to lower the skill gap between players.
