The Real Problem with Parsers

[AriaEnia]

I don't need to prove anything when the people who want parsers kindly do the job for me.

Pretty much what I see around here, especially in early pages.

I'm not against parsers, but I do really hope if it's going to be implemented, there will be a choice or vote system for the party in DF to activate and deactivate it.
I'm not a raider and I only play about 1 hour every day after coming home from work and so far, parser people I met in DF and Alexander were quick to judge and kick somebody, even though I haven't been kicked because my dps was somewhat satisfied them.
Maybe I need to play more, I dunno.

I really think that's the best way to go to avoid stepping on peoples' toes as much as possible.

Always be able to see your own parse so that you know how much you're doing, optionally public (decided by each person so nobody is forced) for duty finder. Then add it as an option to enforce public when going as a full premade, so people can put in their party finders that it's going to be on and people can't hide their parses in the content that actually has DPS checks.
Maintain the rule that using third party parsers to see people who've got theirs set to private only to call them out on it is punishable. Put the stress on that if you want to control your group, you make your own group, and that if you queue to get random people, you accept that you aren't always going to get top-tier players.

That way everyone gets to see their own numbers, people don't get to whine about numbers in roulettes where they really don't matter, people can PF to their hearts' content to ensure that their important runs will succeed.
In addition, it can help avoid people getting confused over whether their numbers are good or not if the other DPS is not optimal either, or is of another class, or is a different ilvl.

There's really no realistic argument against this except from people who mistakenly think it's their job to police how others play when they intentionally queued up to get whoever the game decided should be matched with them. It gives all the benefits of having a parser while avoiding any arguments that it'll cause DF to become super toxic because without intentionally setting your parse to public in DF, there'd be no difference from what we have now.
