    An in game parser would not bug me if it could only be used to view your OWN DPS or healing. But since the reason everyone wants it is to see how they stack up against everyone else, Im kind of against it. It would just cause problems because people will start to argue about who is better and the folks who dont meet a certain percent on DPS will start being cut from or excluded from things.

    But honestly, if a DD is doing less DPS than is required for certain encounter, their place is not in that encounter yet, but instead somewhere else, practicing doing their rotations while dealing with mechanics. If a DD does under 200 DPS, they should not be in a Second Coil or Final Coil group. Pointing this out to someone is not bullying or elitism (as long as it's done in a polite manner).

    The problem is many of the fights in this game require every single DD to do certain amount of DPS. If even one DD is significantly underperforming, the group will fail, even when all other DDs were doing things perfectly right. Without a parser that shows DPS of all party members, there is no way of knowing who is not up to the task.
