Hell if I knew. The parser user kept going on about their DPS being on top and how could everyone else be sucking so much... After the third wipe I was about to tell them that if they swung their numbers around one more time I'm reporting them but they left before I'd even typed two words. It was really a stroke of luck we even got another tank, late in a dungeon it's often impossible to get replacements. I'm just glad I've yet to run into anyone like that since, noone deserves to be talked down to like that. Especially not by someone who apparently couldn't do their own role effectively.
I'm not on a PC, either. This game doesn't segregate by console, the effects of an official parser would be far and wide.

Without parse you can't improve your dps and skills. Do you clear any thing 1st on all world if no don't talk about some thing you don't know about it if yes you 100% useing parse that's mean with out parse you will be late in everything.
This is the biggest fallacy about parsing. All parsing is is a measurement of arbitrary numbers. As has been said, repeatedly, parsers don't get the big picture. Don't see the fight as it's happening, it just tallies the numbers and spits out an average. It takes knowledge and awareness to get the full picture. A Monk who's having to constantly dodge aoe is going to have terrible numbers, a Bard that's singing is going to have terrible numbers. You can't just rely on one metric in a game that has many mechanics that can't be ignored. That said, I'm not going to say parsers can't be useful, but only so long as they are kept private and optional. I'm not patient enough to weather more people like that tank in Fractal.
If you don't want parse pls don't use it just focus to doge aoe and let boss enrage after go watch YouTube and cry because you can't beat boss !man you just talking about easy dungeon don't make me laugh.

And there's the other fallacy... that there's only two kinds of players, the 'hardcore raider' and the 'scrub'. I play to the best of my ability, but that's because I'm my own worst critic. I don't just sit back and mash 1 or 2 buttons. I watch what I'm doing, I berate myself when I screw up and apologize profusely when I screw up royally or cause a wipe. Most casual players are like this. We may not make playing games into 'work' but we own our mistakes and learn from it. Don't need a parser for that. Again, just need knowledge and awareness. I mean, I don't watch any videos when trying new content but I figure it out really quickly and have yet to actually forget how any dungeon works.
If most casual players were like you described that would be great... Even these might be underperforming due to lack of awarness tho. It is hard to correct something if you do not know that it is broken.And there's the other fallacy... that there's only two kinds of players, the 'hardcore raider' and the 'scrub'.

Before FF14 I played Wildstar and as much casual as I am, it seemed that I was performing well - reading tooltips, using skills correctly etc. etc. Then in preparation of raiding, I installed parser... it turned out I was doing barely enough to meet my part of dps checks. It basicaly meant that in case my group mates done worse than I did, we were not able to clear content. To continue the story, after installing the parser my dps improved by about 50% (granted I also started to use Aura mastery, but the initial motivation sparked from parser.) After that I was not just doing my job, but I was also able to help less performing players, which meant less failures and overall faster and more happy runs.
Actually Parsers do give the big picture and gives a huge insight of information other the just DPS numbers, what you wrote has been one of the biggest tripe from anti parser crowd and has been proven wrong time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time and time again.
Parsers give events and the time such events occurs, it gives how many times a skill was used, how much damage was absorbed and by what skill did that, it gives a huge amount of information including when people did such skills, please stop making up lies.

Yes, they will. But you can't guarantee said effects would be 100% positive. It's likely the sole reason one has yet to be released, like the reasoning behind no in-game VoIP. If they do, it'll probably be neutered, like a self-only dummy parser, or a full parser limited to progression raids.
That's BS, and you know it.
Do you? If not world 1st, will you settle for server 1st? Or 3rd? Or however far down the line?
So what? "LTTP" is purely subjective. As is the definition of "fun". Why force a parser on non-raiders? You can't improve others, only yourself. So, improve your DPS. Also, several other things while you're at it.
