Would you like an in-game parser?

No worries.

Now while I agree that in Savage and current EX primal setting, the situation you describe sucks and it's also something that is a large problem with clear and farm parties in the PF. There are a lot of players who join these hoping to get a carry without even learning the fight. The only thing having an official parser would do in that scenario is weed those players out. That won't help people get better at all and while not everyone will abuse it, you know there will be quite a sizable amount of people who will do one run, kick those with low dps and replace them (even if their dps is above average for the fight in question).

As an example, I was in a learning party for SephEX and someone was complaining that the WHM was only doing 350ish dps and they wanted to kick them to replace them with one that could do better dps. Others were speaking in favor of this and it wasn't until another person in the group who was also using a parser broke their silence and informed the group that the cohealer wasn't even healing and was focusing 100% on dps while the WHM was both dpsing and solo healing in a learning party (i.e. a lot of unneeded damage going out that could have been avoided). If it wasn't for that one person who was also using a parser speaking up, chances are that WHM would have been booted for no reason. This is something that ACT allows you to see and not something that a basic in game parser will show you. (Unless that parser also showed hps in addition to dps).

Edit - This example was in the first few weeks of SephEX.
