The Real Problem with Parsers

[spelley]

I can see a future where class "x" won't be accept in a party because it lacks dps.

This game is significantly more balanced than WOW (or most MMOs). DPS numbers are pretty normalized amongst roles, with even the "low" end within a role being with the "skill margin" most of the time (a player really eeking out DPS as a PLD will probably out DPS a DRK who is only average or not really trying). Part of this is because there are no "specs" so there aren't as many variables which makes one more "gimped" than the other.

As an aside, I have never seen someone kicked for "too low DPS" in anything aside from Bismarck EX, because they literally were holding the group back. This was fairly obvious even without a parser. When something is a DPS check, a DPS doing poorly is just as bad a Tank who is not holding aggro or a Healer not keeping the tank alive, but is nearly invisible without either a lot of experience in what to look out for or a parser.
