Just realized something: FFXIV is a terrible DPS player's DREAM come true...

The case for parsers really shouldn't be "hey, this makes it easy for me to call people out for poor performance".
it should be "hey this is showing me I'm not even close to what others are doing, I need to up my game"...

Sadly most of the arguments I've seen have been the former.

This. I'd like a personal parser.

To the OP. As a tank I know DPS are under-performing by how long it takes things to die. With the experience of running everything multiple times you get a good feel and gauge on how fast things should be dying.

While I do understand your point on healers and tanks being called out the most for being bad (I'm a heal/tank main and haven't been called out in years), its because their roles are so crucial on the whole party staying alive. I feel like this post is more about salt over that than genuinely finding a way to see how everyone on your team is performing, whether by parser or by some other means. If a dps dies, generally oh well... "REZ" but a healer cannot raise themselves, and if a tank dies well then everything is probably going to hit the fan unless your dps are good at kiting and killing at the same time.
