In-Game Parser.

Rather play a game where the developers allow players to enjoy the game how they wish to do so within some basic guidelines such as rules to stop harassment, cheating and such than play one that follows your tyrannical dictatorship stepping on anyone who plays differently to yourself and forcing them into a single play style, your desired play style via mandatory DPS checks on everyone, even those who do not care for the small amount of content in this game that would even require such DPS checks.

Your comment doesn't really make sense and you explain why yourself.

Why would you use a parser, if it wasn't for the content that makes them viable, IE: Raids? Rarely do people use parsers in content not raid related AND harass people. Are we gonna harass people in Hunts or Snowcloak?

It makes absolutely no sense to be offended by someone saying you have low DPS, when you're participating in content that may require high DPS. You can play the game how you want 100%. Not everyone should be forced to accept how sloppy you play either especially in end-game content. Once you venture into this content, your goal is to clear it and you cannot do that unless you conquer the DPS checks which are yes, high.

A personal parser, gives you almost nothing though in that enviorment. In fact the information it would give you, would be terribly misleading and skewed as a dummy, does not enforce mechanics or movement. Thus it gives you numbers that are higher then in the actual fights.

My comment makes perfect sense in the context of what was being talked about. That context is in the optional vs mandatory use of such a feature forced upon the player base.

Again, where are parsers used generally? It's more then likely, if not always, the raiding environment. Which makes your comment nonsense when talking about the context of optional vs mandatory. If you are embarking on content that requires high DPS then a parser is your friend not your enemy, unless you are holding everyone back.

Let's go with optional. No one uses a parser. Good luck clearing a lot of the end-game content. Why? Because if there are people slacking, you can't tell who it is.
Mandatory? We now know who it is.

Who the hell parses hunts /dungeons and harasses people? While yes it's possible that's hardly the environment it occurs in.
