Would you like an in-game parser?

The Official parser will not only be easier to use, but also more accurate.

That's assuming they.

1. Make it at all.
2. Make it well.
3. Make it they way you want it.

Considering how divisive a topic this is, if a parser is ever added to the game (Officially) be sure it will be riddled with limitations and restrictions on how the data is displayed.

Sure it might be a minor step up, but that seems to be allot of work for something that's a minor improvement and not endorsed by the whole community and even then only useful to a small fraction of the people who would use it. I've said it before and I'll say it again there really isn't a real reason the developers should focus on this at all. I really has terrible return on investment for the developers and the players and that's before you even bother to think about the negative consequences that come with the whole shebang being "Legalized" to the player base.

For every person who actually understands their parse and not just "Big Numbaz is bettah" there will be 100 people who sneer at people because he tunnel visioned and got higher DPS numbers even if his incoming damage was skewed because of it, and the player who did little DPS was doing all the mechanics for him. These kind of analytics and metrics aren't made for the mainstream playerbase so why are people trying so hard to force it on them?

I am quite sure there will never be an official parser, but what I am 100% sure of is, that if they add it one day, there won't be people who just autoattack anymore.

You talk about this as if there are examples of this working elsewhere. Take a hard look at WoW and how little parsers have effected the playerbase people still do jack all and they don't get booted.

I also have to question if you seriously need a parser to see that someone isn't pulling their weight. It's not hard and takes the most minimal sense of awareness (That any person who wants a parse in the first place would have) to notice your team-mate isn't doing anything.
