DPS display could easily be solved with a system already in game.

Speaking of perspective, I think it should be noted that you're just as guilty of the "I" argument. For starters, you're not even considering the perspective of how it affects the stability of players outside of highest tier endgame, which is exactly where the inevitable problems would occur.

How does it currently effect the stability of players outside of endgame when non-console users that want to parse already parse? Unless you're saying that the state of the community is already in chaos with people getting kicked due to lack of performance en mass then that argument has no bearing because again, any nonconsole user that wants to know their DPS already is using ACT or XIVAPP. Despite that, community as it stands based on your statement is peachy.

This comes down to availability. Currently if you want to participate in endgame as a console user, youhave to rely on PC users for analysis. PC users that want to already do, Console users that want to can't.

If they already parse, they cannot let on publicly that they are parsing information. If parsers were made official, not only would more advanced parsers be favored by PC players, it would throw open the doors to public decisions and restrictions based on that information. PF invites, speed runs, LS requirements, the new person in a roulette party? Vote kicked, because statistics show they cannot perform to the party's perceived satisfaction, never mind their gear or actions.

You can already do all those things, you just can't explicitly state that you're doing them with the in-game chat. Allow parsers and I assure you that the rise in "kicked for low dps" reports will correspond with a sudden drop in mystery kicks. At least people will know what's going on.
