It would show me what I need to see and the people who are afraid of parsers wouldn't really have a good argument to not include one.

I'll still be able to research what my numbers should be at on the forums and reddit and I'll still be able to compare numbers in my static group.
The problem here is, if they introduce a half measure like that, then that is what you are stuck with for the rest of the game. At best an expansion or two. If you are going to put something in, do the proper one. With half of one there, it is unlikely they will justify using the resources to flesh out a new one.


Obviously you, or I, or anyone who has bothered to come to the forums would probably look with a personal parser. But we are already here, so that's kind of preaching to the choir. Its people who don't bother, and are unable to reference what that number actually means that won't, and most likely need that info for improvement the most.

Having the full parser in DCUO was so handy. You could see how well you were doing, what people of similar class and gear were doing. And yeah, if some one was putting out 1/4 of the damage they should be. You could also see healing out, damage in etc.
