A self-improvement tool is needed in this game, especially for end game

The Stone, Sky, Sea/Etc. dummies have always felt a bit bare-bones to me; while I know there are some fanmade tools out there that help calculate your damage for those trials, I would appreciate it if such things were available in-game. The simple pass/fail nature of the dummies isn't particularly helpful to me, and I wish at the end it would give you a more detailed score, such as total/highest damage dealt, total/target damage, recommended/minimum damage, etc

The latest reasoning given by the Devs is they don't want to split the community and if they made it personal only, players would request screens or some other proof before allowing entry. Your wish to have it required for PF backs up their first reason, and while many players already vet through similar means, having an official parser would increase the number that do it.

Those are the official reasons. If we're being real, they probably also don't want to add one because they don't have the manpower to deal with the numerous reports of dps harassment that would result and they would prefer not to ban any more players than necessary. They are a business after all.

The Devs are well aware that parsing is one of the top requested QoL changes. Making yet another topic asking for one won't do anything.

The community is already split into people who care how to play their classes and can check what they are doing, people who care how they play but can't check and into people who don't care at all and call others elitists for caring.

SSS is not really helpful when it comes to optimizing because you just smack on a dummy with more HP but without any mechanic and no further buffs that a group would give you.
