Add a Parser that only the player can see.

Most players who actually know the value of a parser will know how dps varies from fight to fight.

95% of the time, parsers are taken out of context and used as grounds to flame someone. Most players don't know the value and simply sees it as a tool to condemn other players, which is why it shouldn't be put in-game.

Very easy to figure out who's not pulling their weight anyway.

95% of the time...care to elaborate on how you came to that figure?

Because if that number isn't real then the argument wouldn't have worked, gosh. Never argued on the internet before?

If you're not clearing an enrage timer/dps checks with little to no dps deaths then it's valuable. I strictly spoke in a sense where the information is actually useful. And the implementation I suggested does well to alleviate the issue of "getting flamed for poor dps in random content". Just turn your public setting off if you want to see your dps and not display it to other players.

Of course people with third party parsers are going to still see your dps. If they bothered to comment on it and you're doing something trivial like a dungeon you have a couple of options. You could either improve, report, or laugh at them and shrug it off.

Honestly, I'm fairly skeptical about how a parser in game would help much aside from ps4 raiders. Most of the people that QQ about people calling out dps don't really sound like they ever want to improve anyway and a lot are unsettlingly okay with being outdps'd by a tank in their tank stance.
