Why not an ingame damage tracker?

[Naunet]

Because there's no point to it. You can judge by someones gear if they can potentially put out enough damage or not. Actually being able to measure that will do nothing short of shunning people or having it be used as a reason to attack or exclude people.

Really. It will do nothing else? There are actually legitimate uses for parsers, you should know, including monitoring the efforts of your damage dealers during a dps check to better target improvements, post-fight analyses of damage done to the raid paired with healing done to keep track of overheals and assist in better timing preparatory spells, having an easy-access record of what exactly killed someone and by how much, and more.

Blame the people who use the tool badly, not the tool.

It's quite clear that no one would EVER use a parser to check their own dps and try to work out how to improve it.

Oh dear, are you from the US?

Eh? Why?
