Parsers add replayability for casual players

And what would change in the experience? You'd still kick someone, right? You'd still not be able to say anything to them.

What does it matter if they can see? The key element there is that they have to give a damn about what they see. So what is really going to change?

Not necessarily. It also allows the group to actually discuss a DPS issue in say Savage PF. What you'll often seen nowadays is people leaving after a couple pulls because they know they can't comment on someone having low DPS.

It would also be a massive help to jobs like Astro whose entire gimmick is reliant on how other people perform. In fact, one could argue the dislike towards Astro's new card system is because people can't actually see the impact their cards have. You could directly feel a 10% defensive buff on a tank; see your MP ticking up, and etc. You can't really see if that extra 5% is better on the Samurai, Dragoon or Red Mage.

Actually, are you sure about that?

Yes.
