Would you like an in-game parser?

I challenge you all to provide a single good argument against a personal meter that only the player him/herself can see.

As an AST, I wouldn't know who to give Arrow or Balance if I can't see the DPS of my party members.

To clarify, I personally would love a public meter, but as you can see from this thread most players do not want any chance of their DPS being evaluated. A personal meter is a compromise that even the staunchest anti-parse person cannot provide a valid argument against.
