Parsers add replayability for casual players

other people can already see their numbers now.

Then I guess we don't need an in-game parser.

It's pretty well known that the FFXIV community will report each other for anything and everything.

What may be "pretty well known" does not always match individual experiences.

No, there's an argument for their inclusion. Not mine, but there are valid arguments all throughout the thread. I just take issue with the whole "harassment" thing, nothing would change in this aspect.

I can assure you, people of this community are reporting for pretty much everything. One could make the argument whether GMs actually act on most of these, but it doesn't change that fact, or the amount of GM time wasted having to go through them.

I disagree. The status quo hasn't prevented all the contents from being cleared. Having official support for in-game parser becomes a matter of convenience, but that alone doesn't make it a good enough argument to have it.

Except the number of potential incidents.

I don't think you can assure me of any of that unless you're a GM.
