Built-in Parsers

[BillyKaplan]

If people really want parsers for self improvement, I wonder why not more people have suggested personal parsers. You'll see how much damage and heals you're doing, just no one else. This being an MMO and a community, it won't be long before people know not only how they are performing, but other people's numbers as well. However, it will be done in a situation where no one can use it as a weapon against you because no one knows your numbers unless you tell them. And that can easily lead to situations where people see their numbers are low and seek guidance, instead of feeling uneasy whenever someone goes 'you want a tip?' or any other polite alternative. You're still being called out for under-performance, if not outright harassed for it.

Any other parse that lets you see other people's numbers will be usable as a weapon and lead to harassment, and if it's built-in we'll have to put up with the harassing crowds who currently don't do it because it's against the ToS who'll be allowed to roam free. I agree that if you see harassment happening you should report it, but knowing how toxic people get with this already, I can't blame the devs for preferring to leave it out altogether.
