For that reason I support parsers. That aside, a score at the end is sort of 75% of the way there since most people wouldn't be watching a parser each moment, and really choosing instead to view a summary at the end. I get told my DPS on a fair few runs and I am a healer. ^^

    Anyhow, while I support some sort of idea like this, and it would actually make me enjoy the game more (I am on a PS4), SE has come out against it.

    Are they, though? The only people I know that parse are trying to get into savage raiding or use the tool for other purposes (such as yelling at you to turn away NOW because petrifaction is incoming and they're too lazy to watch the boss).

    I don't have any real idea of who is, or who isn't, but the general feeling is that people are doing it (not that I'm against that) but to my original point, is that people don't know what they don't know. And giving them that information would be a big help. From my personal experience my friend had no idea he was't doing the best he could, until it was pointed out to him by another player... In this case, the other player was very rude, which is sad and another issue all together, but the end result was my friend changed how he was playing because he wants to be better, and since he is on PS4 he won't ever be able to know this unless it's pointed out, or SE gives him the info so he knows how he's preforming.

    Agreed, but if they are against any parser meter in game, this could be a good option at the end of the run to let players know how they did... Their is room for it in Final Fantasy, as FFXIII did this at the end of the fight and gave the user a score/rank value.

    The debate on parsers will continue, I'm just offering an alternative solution/idea, because something is really needed, and I find that the majority of players I have talked with want to play better, want to challenge themselves to do better, but they don't have the ability to do so unless they parse. Seems that SE could give everyone some system that is fair and balanced. And even Fun.
