How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[Legion88]

Some people come to the game to escape and/or relax. Not to be worried about some jerks who are synced down giving them crap for playing a class they're learning or trying to gear up. You may think wanting to prevent this is wrapping people in a blanket, but it's granting a measure of fairness to people to not be judged by a mere glance at some numbers when the reasons for their damage output could very well be completely unrelated to the buttons they're pressing, or justified considering their lack of experience.

Additionally parsers may make lvl sync problematic if sprouts see that their dps cannot compare to lvl 60+ synced players. They may think they are actually doing something wrong when they're not simply because the parser makes it appear so. In a sense the game would be doing parser abuse on its own by potentially making unsynced players look bad.

1.) Initially no one asked for parsers in leveling content, only for dummies, ExTrials and Savage. Only Anti-Parser-People are bringing this up, despite the repeated cases of Pro-Parser-People not wanting this in the "casual" and leveling content.

2.) Common sense should tell people that an unsynced person is always inferior to an synced person due to the synced person having all main and sub stats synced at the possible cap.

3.) People just wanting to relax, having some fun time and escape reality have a whole bunch of content they can enjoy, "casual" content. If they decide to leave their house of "casual" content and should be prepared for the rough weather awaiting them their.

Maybe in this thread but in general a lot of people who want parsers want it in all content. Saying this from my experience in other threads relating to parsers. I agree that parsers are only really relevant and useful at max lvl, especially in savage or ex. But if SE introduce them for that content, players will demand it in the rest of the game too.

2.) Common sense should tell people that an unsynced person is always inferior to an synced person due to the synced person having all main and sub stats synced at the possible cap.

Common sense is sometimes a result of experience. A sprout might not realise exactly what lvl syncing does and therefore would not understand why their dps is so low by comparison. Additionally common sense can be in short supply. Only got to have a look in alliance raids to see proof of this. A lot of people leave their brain at the door when they start gaming.

I agree but as I said before a lot of pro-parser players want parsers in all content, so this would include the casual content. I understand wanting to be able to analyse your performance from the beginning, but due to class balance while lvling and the fact that the content is intended to be casual, I feel parsers have no place there.
