DPS Parser Solution Idea

They adding a beginners hall

Chances are that the beginner's hall will function like WoW's proving grounds, and probably no more than the Bronze level at that.

Worse still, even if, at best, it has an actual parser, how useful is that really going to be when you can't compare it with real, in-group situations?

At the very least we should all have personal parsers. At best, our class quests should probably start actually helping new players hammer out their rotation, and require a certain level of dps from them (likely using an auto-leveled or synced gear from the given test) so they're not walking straight into future criticism, parsers or no parsers, when the tank notices that they're doing a third of the enmity of the other DPS (no enmity-drops on either) with only one target available, or the party wipes to dps checks.

There's still a fundamental problem with the majority of people using parsers. They do not take the context of a fight/situation into account when judging performance. That's why having a well crafted proving ground (not what WoW offer for sure) that showed you a grade based on how well you perform based on the devs expected numbers for a class is a great starting point. You need a basic "does this person understand how to play their class" before you get into fight specific adjustments. It should also provide a better stepping stone into parsers for those situations.
