Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

As long as there's a real-time group parse out there and not in the game, PC players will have an edge.

Or more generally: As long as the consoles are unable to download and run third party programs like PCs are, PC players will have an edge.

Why stop at a group parser? The next step is deadly boss mods (which you can then at least use the sanctioned ingame parser data for). And a hunt tracker, of course. And a small AddOn that shows the current light bonus once someone with the program finds it. See where I'm getting? As long as you turn a blind eye on third party programs, PC players will have an edge. This includes voice chat programs by the by, which will be the next thing you'll have to implement.

May be worth noting that Voip is not exclusive to PC players seeing as it's third party and not related to the platform you are playing on. Also might be worth nothing that PS4 has built in Voice chat, which is first party to Sony. As far as I know, any software that is first party to Sony is allowed because SE has agreed to Sony terms of usage when porting the game to playstation. That being said... Not giving any frivolous ideas of course. Of course if you were release a plugin under the guise of an Indie on the playstation store, I'm not sure how that will pan out.
