I like the idea of parsers as a tool for information and self-improvement. I could look at the data, see where I fall short, and correct that behavior. Or, I could, if I weren't playing on PS4.

I dislike the idea of parsers because people are terrible in general and use them as a means for unwarranted hostility rather than improvement. These are the same intolerable people who make DF groups disband because they lack social skills and tact. Parsers just give them ammo unfortunately.

Parsers exist anyway. They'll keep on existing. Far better to just give everyone at bare minimum an in-game tool that gives you only your DPS and your group's average DPS. At bare minimum.
