    this game needs parsers.

    The amount of new players/casual players that are hitting end game and have only expierenced echo and over geared situations is the majority. This individuals dont know how to handle mechanics because they haven't had to learn them, They dont fully understand all the actions they have access too, and havent been pushed to learn how to get better with gated content. (I find a lot of people have never tried titan ex, and will never learn the fight, as they no longer need to clear it to progress.)

    So with a parser in game, people will be forced to see there numbers compared to others and ask questions to why they are not as good as others. With the current setup, most people think they are bad ass, when the pld is over dpsing them...

    Also With the ToS banning parsers, those that do run them are afraid to say anything, and really not able to help in those raids with out fear of getting banned.

    how many tims have you been into a group asked a question and never received an answer or just told to go and learn or watch a video or ask your fc or or or...? dont tell me never because that is not true either..Parsers are just a pain, and there for people to demean others less good then them and boost their egos and get the e-peenite affliction.

    What does fight specific mechanic have to do with personal numerical output? You're seriously expecting me to not give you the weird eye if I meet you in t9 df and you ask "guys, how i do (insert your current job here)?"

    Your opinion is very rude and clueless :/ Parsers are just tools and like any real tools their uses greatly depend of the wielder.
    - In good hands, they are just an incredible support that provide useful informations for yourself and for your team in order to work toward your goal... They are also mandatory for any endgame activities.
    - In bad hands, they will be used by a very minority of jerks in order to exclude players from contents but... It's already the case, they don't need official parser to do it already.

    Give an hammer to someone with good intentions and he will build/repair things but give the same hammer to someone with a nasty behaviour, he can use it to kill people.
    Should we forbid the use of hammers in real life because we can possibly kill other with them?
    Same question for ingame parsers. Don't punish the majority just because a minority can possibly turn an useful tool into a "dangerous weapon".
