Why not an ingame damage tracker?

There will never be in game parsers, they've already spoken on this. Going by what they have said, if there ever are in game parsers, they will only parse YOUR damage. They want to avoid the whole "DPS Meter: The Game" mentality that has a tendency to ruin people's ability to actually enjoy the game because they are too busy trying to top a pointless meter.

You may have noticed that the game has a very very high emphasis on movement and dodging, it's a seldom occurrence for a fight to allow you to stand there and mash buttons for "deeps".

I'll tell you that I'd rather have my members focused on the game, not constantly trying to be number 1 on a meter and losing focus as a result.

And parsing after a fight does what exactly? Makes several people feel like crap, and inflates one idiot's ego. I can tell without parsers whether or not dps is sufficient. I'm surprised you can't.

The game does have dps checks, however, which is one spot where parsers can shine in usefulness. That said, it's also not the only use for them.
