Is a Parser ever comming?

I think it would motivate players to master their jobs for fear of judgement.

I don't think that's a good reason, to strike fear into players. We meant to be playing because it's fun.

I'd also like to see how well I do myself.

Admittedly I do think this myself sometimes when I feel I've done particularly well on DPS.

If people don't want to improve, don't want to work(I said work, not a job, they're not the same thing) for a win on a particular piece of content, i'm ok with that. It's not for them, I get it. The problem arises when said people want to finish said content before it gets nerfed, yet refuse to improve to do so. So they either get carried, or help cause wipes. This is just as bad as the people who harass others over dps, just on the other side of the coin. Yet these people are still around, still causing issues in groups, all the time.

This is exactly why they end up getting harassed, I think. When doing group content, it's a given that everyone is expected to pull their own weight in the group. All a parser does is make it known who is and isn't pulling their weight. Those that find themselves afraid of the implementation of a parser are usually those that don't always pull their own weight in a group.

This. Most of the time people who are afraid of parsers are the one who does the least damage causing groups to fail in DPS checks mechanism. It can be used to improve static dps to look at rotation and stuff. Whenever i parse in a PUG, i will private tell them out of instance to look into their rotation as their DPS is lacking in certain areas. I personally feel its the way people tell the other lacking member about their dps. Instead of shouting in party chat regarding their dps, do it in private so at least you are not embarrassing the person. Implementation of parsers are okay but the way of calling out on someone on party chat should be civilised.
