Would you like an in-game parser?

I see no harm in putting one in, it's just a tool. Assholes will be assholes with or without said tools honestly.

You see no harm because this community is fairly pleasant. But you also saw how toxic Terra was. Assholes might be assholes with or without tools... but why give them tools they'd likely misuse to turn this pleasant community into yet another cesspool of toxicity? I'm not saying that would definitely happen, but why take the chance? There's already a 3rd party tool you can use to measure your own dps. Any of us can use that for personal improvement along with SSS and still maintain the nice community we have.

There's no empirical proof that adding a parser would suddenly turn the community into a toxic cesspool either. You probably get parsed every single day and don't even know it because most people that run parsers don't say a word about it ingame for fear of persecution. Adding an official parser wouldn't suddenly make berating someone about their numbers not qualify as harassment either, so people would still have recourse if someone was being a dick to them over parse numbers. FYI, PS3 and PS4 users cannot use the existing third party software, which is why people keep advocating for either 1) addon support or 2) an ingame parser. It's patently unfair to those users (and PS3 and PS4 actually make up a substantial portion of the playerbase, at least in my experience) to have to basically beg someone on a PC rig to parse them.
