They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

[Kenky]

Don't forget how they said no it's impossible for collection checkmarks on orchestration rolls and minions, and then added it!

I believe there's a difference here.

With collection checkmarks, it's (seemingly) just a quick scan to see if you actually have access to X.

With a parser, the reason they say no is because they want to avoid harassment or toxicity as a result of the parser. This thread alone has shown that, even if a parser is added, it'll result in the exact thing they don't want to happen. How do I know that? Look through the thread and others from the past week. Or the more normal response. "look at how meters ruined <insert mmo here>" and that holds some weight, especially since the Exodus from WoW. While I welcome the refugees, it's hard to shake a habit that has been several years in the making..

People actively insulting each other for pointless reasons, or outright resorting to actual harassment purely because of a difference of opinion. While I can understand people may be "against" those that have different opinions, despite differing opinions actively causing discussions that may help both sides in the long run. You learn why they hold their stance and you help them by explaining yours.

Even if you still disagree at the end, you have both learned a small nugget that could be used to gauge other peoples opinions, should they contest yours. Turning the outright hostility into curiosity and discussion.

To that end, can you really and legitimately stand there and say a parser will not cause problems?

A personal DPS meter, sure. Make it punishable to share it if people get stupid with it, as I understand some peoples desire to use said meters for "personal improvement". That's all it should be at most. Not one single step further.
