The grand majority of "personal parser," posts wants to live in a world where asking or demanding another's numbers is a ban-worthy offense. There is no guarantee that people will willingly share their numbers at any given moment, and some people will forever keep themselves stuck in their bubble to avoid being criticized or yelled at. Simply put, if people want to obtain context for their numbers, they should just ask for an actual parser.

I literally posted my basis behind it. A personal parser is useless, middle-of-the-road, half-assed garbage. If you want a parser, ask for a parser. Do not ask for a "personal parser," do not ask for a "damage rating," do not ask for a "damage ranking system post-dungeon/run," ask for an ACTUAL PARSER. There is zero point in asking for any other alternative aside from wanting to avoid offending people who will be offended regardless of whatever alternative you try to bring up.
