The Real Problem with Parsers

[Merkava]

Not to mention that parsers have other positive uses aside from checking on party overall DPS.

Astrologian just got a Balance card? If they had a parser they will most likely give it to the highest DPS in the party, making the most of it.

Tank having emnity issues because of i-gear gap? Being able to tell who exactly is pulling the big numbers allows you to take better control of the mobs. Party doing bad numbers? Don't bother with a big pull (instead of face rolling into it and learning through your own death [then we blame]).

The positives of using parsers far outweight the negatives. People who are rude about parsing (I agree that people who are in a rush shouldn't be using PF to begin with) do not override everything that is potentially good about it.

Chances are good DPS won't cry over others bad DPS anyway.

Parsers should be allowed or offered ingame
