Would you like an in-game parser?

[Reinha]

I actually find it pretty interesting how large the divide is between "Yes" (either option) and "No". Given the amount of animosity that crops up on either side when this discussion pops up, I was expecting a more even split between "No" and "Yes" but this certainly isn't the case.

I wonder if that'll change over time if we can keep this thread on the front page for a while /think

The animosity is mostly between those who oppose public display of dps numbers (whether it's through not having a parser or only having a personal parser), and those who want to see other people's numbers. If you look at the votes, very few oppose a tool to improve oneself but more than half oppose the information being on public display.

I wouldn't say the votes 'oppose' anything, they 'support' something. One can support a personal parser, while not being opposed to a group one. Similarly, one can support a group parser but not be opposed to a personal one. Personally, I am opposed to a personal parser and would rather have a group one, or no parser.

You can vote more than one option. The ones you don't vote for, you oppose. The ones you do vote for, you support. I predict the personal parser option will end up getting most votes because it's a good compromise.
