The Real Problem with Parsers

[Tsilyi]

As much as I don't care whether they implement parsers or not, I can tell you from playing other games that DO have them... making them legal is absolutely not going to miraculously raise the level of skill the playerbase has. There will always be multitudes of people who are awful. People who will seek help to do better are already getting advice from skilled players and using parsers themselves. Don't fool yourself into thinking the average player is going to somehow get better just because parsers are suddenly allowed.

Snip.

Of course it isn't going to magically make them better no one is arguing against that, only people who care to put in the effort will do so, but it gives everyone the tools to potentially get better. Maybe after they see their numbers they will be motivated to improve, maybe not, but it has far more uses than just for those people too

Ignoring all the a-holes that abuse people regardless of a parser or not:

Best case scenario: We'll see a general increase of player skill and content completion rate and DF actually becomes a reliable way of completing content rather than the cesspool it is now.
Worst Case scenario: We have a tool to assess party performance and police those players that are preventing content from being completed either by giving advice or replacing them or are otherwise trolling parties and completion rate picks up ranging from DF to PF.

...People who will seek help to do better are already getting advice from skilled players and using parsers themselves...

Players on ps3/4 who might possibly want to get better don't necessarily know anyone who could parse them, or they could be afraid to search for one since they're "illegal"

But yes, it won't miraculous make everyone top tier dps, but gives chances for them who can't parse themselves cause of ps3/4
