Would you like an in-game parser?

Do you care to provide a link to justify that statement...

Apologies, you are quite right. I meant in the context that half the playerbase are on pc and can use a parser, half of us are on ps3/4 and cannot. But even this I cannot justify, as I don't know the % split between the platforms.

I will make sure I carry out detailed research before I post again, and not assume people will not wilfully misinterpret my comments.

Back on topic, I'd like a parser simply as a QOL improvement in that I don't have to keep asking people what my numbers were. I wouldn't care if people can see my numbers, as some can already anyway. I doubt SE will comply though, as has been revealed in this thread, a number of people are staunchly opposed to having their numbers scrutinised.

It's not the end of the world if they don't, we will just continue with the tools currently available. It's just an inconvenience

I appreciate that.

Yet I would also say you can't assume half the player base on PC uses parsers either Randy. Could be only 5 percent? What makes you think that is so? Do you have objective data to prove that statement? You could say I would venture to guess that it's true, but then again, you really don't know and neither does anyone else here know the numbers. Perhaps SE has a way of knowing, I really don't know.

I've made my feelings known on parsers. I would not be personally opposed to a personal parser if one were to be implemented but am totally against to having one in game for group evaluation for normal content. Perhaps there are exceptions as some have suggested where parsers could be implemented for raid content only as a choice but to have them available in DF forget it. I would venture to guess that some parser users have their parsers open in duties like Satasha Baby. Seriously, when numbers become the game as opposed to simply enjoying the content with others there is a problem.
