No they didn't include it because of the toxic behavior that stems from parsing. Which is one of the things we're seeing from 3rd party parsers and that FFLogs website.That is not the devs conclusion. The devs conclusion was that they did not want to receive a brigade of reports over people discussing their dps, or using it as a reason to remove players from a party. They never said players would report players for not doing the highest possible DPS at all time.
In the end though it doesn't even matter as you can be reported for removing a player from your party for anything now, so they may as well put the DPS meter in.
I think people want to pretend that parsing is causing more issues than it really is. I have played since 2013, and I have never had a player say anything about DPS in a group I have been in, outside of asking if some one was parsing and what there specific DPS was. I have never seen toxic behavior from parsing. Maybe other people have had different experiences, but that has been mine.
The most common third party tools people complain about the most are things you can do with a couple stop watches and a calculator.
In-game, sure. I've almost never seen parsing toxicity in-game. Outside of the game, definitely not.I think people want to pretend that parsing is causing more issues than it really is.
