    Ehhh, this sounds like a bad idea. I think they should just allow parsers, period. And anyone who uses the parsing information to harass other players should get banned for the first offense. Permanently. Make the punishment so... well, punishing that the trolls will think twice before deciding to harass the heck outta someone for low DPS.

    To be honest, I'm not sure why they haven't done just that, even with the incident I posted above. Maybe they see it as too much work due to the fact it could create an influx of bogus harassment reports even if someone politely criticizes their DPS based on the parser. SE would look really bad if they issued perma-bans to people who weren't being trollish with their advice. I get the impression that the community at large has a difficult time taking criticism even when it's kindly worded.

    I suggest don't, atleast never do that in public. It goes both ways. If someone kindly follow the criticism out of courtesy, the bad experience stays
    and most people (not gonna say mentors included too here) won't stop yammering like they're higher power. Having a builtin parser justifies that
    attitude because they have a 'permanent' bad experience in parser logs. Just move on already.

    I'm sorry dude, I can't make heads or tails of your comment or what you're trying to say. o_o Are you saying never to offer constructive criticism to people? What do you mean by people won't stop yammering? Someone who kindly offers constructive criticism, at least in my point of view, makes the critique heard once and that's it, whether the person follows their advice or not. If someone continues to needle the person, then it's not really constructive or kind criticism at that point.

    On that note, I make a point not to ever make comments when I'm rolling with a Duty Finder group unless the group I'm with is chatty and we talk about fun stuff. Even when I notice DPS is slow, I just grin and bear it. Aquaslash has made a good point, when you get a feel for how fast EX Roulette dungeons should be going, you can tell without a parser that something is wrong.
