In competition with myself: a request for PERSONAL parsers

[Bourne_Endeavor]

[I]If you're afraid someone will ask you what your DPS is, you'd have the same option players do now: lie about it.

If someone asks about your numbers, there's a good chance they will have ACT running. Now their reason for kicking shifts from low DPS to you lying.

Again, except that they have no grounds to kick you without admitting to running a bannable 3rd party program. :P

I'm not big on dishonesty, but either way, they're opening themselves up to being reported and banned if they say "This guy isn't doing the DPS he says he is".

I think a good number of players will, without really even meaning to, start to play better if they notice that certain ways they play result in higher DPS.

Right now, without a parser it's like walking around with a sharp stone in your shoe, but no pain receptors in your foot.
Sure, you'll notice that you're walking funny (going slow), or possibly tripping and limping, (Wiping repeatedly), but unless you feel the stone in there, it's probably pretty difficult to tell the exact cause of why the foot isn't performing. Even if other people are pointing it out, they aren't gonna take off your shoe and remove it for you, you'll have to do it for yourself.

This. Sooooo much this...

You'll see DPS players improving practically by accident as they look at their number going up and piece together what they're doing right.
