The Real Problem with Parsers

[Lastelli]

SE's paternalistic stance on this matter really annoys me, especially because I'm a ps player and I can't use a very usefull tool to get better. Parsers are a necessity given how this game is designed and this is a fact. Leaving a relevant part of the player base having to rely on pc gamers only because of possible abuse of a tool is just dumb. Let people decide for themselves. Introduce an official parser and let players decide in their settings if they want the other party members to know how they're performing and allow people to create preformed parties with the requirement that personal dps will be shown.

I agree with this completely, not having an official parser that's useful for everyone is unfair. Especially when the issue of harassment could be solved with a simple privacy setting that allows the players to decide whether they want to show their dps to their party or not.
