It seems far more sensible to get an even playing field between the PC users who have them, and the console users who don't. They are like every other tool you can name. They can be very helpful when used correctly, and they can lop a finger off if you use them badly. No point praising or blaming the tool in either case.
Exactly this. Those PC players who want to parse are already doing so and yet they aren't causing that huge problem the naysayers are hysteric about. If an official parser would be released, it doesn't even mean SE's policy on harassment would change, they would still keep it a punishable offense to harass people for low DPS numbers.

Exclusion, what do people exactly mean with this? You are refused a static spot for low DPS numbers? Guess what, this already happens because PC. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure you don't want to have an underperforming tank or healer in the static either, so why should a DD be a special snowflake whose performance shouldn't be easily trackable, like how tank/heal performance is?
