Echo was designed to benefit all players since these fights can be won without the echo (whether it's by giving them higher HP to suck up a plume they can't dodge or give them that extra DPS boost they can't currently achieve with their bad rotations). My point was that SE may be thinking about the general wellfare of every player in this game, which would be one of the reasons why it doesn't want parsers to be used. Parsers may encourage stigma for the 'bad' players, thereby making it impossible for these bad players to improve since no one wants to play with him/her. However, if that's their mentality on this issue, I think it's too far stretched to bite into. Yea, there are elitests. Yea, there are those jerks who will kick ppl out of party based on parsers results, telling everyone they know how much they suck (something I've seen firsthand; a few of my friends stil remain 'blacklisted' due to poor performance). However... this scenario is not typical, tbh. For every elistest misuing parsers there are like 10 people using it to identity and help their dps improve. Not to ridicule them. But to make them better and more kick-ass. I don't think SE gives our game community enough credit on how people use this tool.
