You completely missed the point and read that in a way that was unintended. Twisting my words doesn't help your case. You're completely insane if you think people are loosing out on some skill when it comes to reading that incredibly difficult to read log. It's only useful when it comes to knowing what exactly killed someone and for how much damage. Otherwise it's useless. You aren't going to skim it and have an idea of how much damage a player is doing at all. It's not humanly possible to do that.

As for Elven and your posts. I disagree with you whole heartedly. You have made zero attempts to understand this from the position others are trying to discuss it from. The only leg you have to stand on is "it's not in the game so it's bad" and that completely ignores the entire discussion about the pros and cons. If that's really your point then say it and walk away. We got it. Coming back every other post to reinforce that extremely simple position isn't doing anything helpful.

Many of us here have acknowledge that third party tools like this exist and nothing you say or anyone says here will ever change that simple fact. In addition to that fact is that many people do not use those tools. This creates a blatantly uneven playing field that leaves ps3/ps4 users the most out of luck. This situation is bad and needs to be remedied. An official in game solution of some kind (I'm not saying full on parser here btw) would go a long way to evening that playing field. This is a problem that needs addressed, and simply having SE say it's against the ToS is not enough to fix it.
