Suggestion: Parser for self view only

[Alistaire]

Seeing your results only would be pointless. OK I'm doing x amount of dps but how do I know if that's good or not? How do I know if the other dps in the same situation are doing twice as much as me, or doing the same, or if I'm outparsing them? There's nothing valuable gained from this idea without relying on knowing what your dps should be from others' parsed results.

That's really not hard to figure out, becuase if the parser only shows YOUR dps what is stopping you from sharing your numbers with those you actually feel comfortable with telling?

On the other hand if EVERYONE sees your dps without your consent, that WILL lead to problems.

I don't find parsers to be exceptionally useful in combat in dungeons. If they were only on the dummies then that could help you in learning your rotations. In dungeons there are too many situational variables, especially if you are comparing one dps to another. Who has to interrupt and dodge more because of positioning for AoEs? Is my high dps in this dungeon because the other jobs are buffing me? etc.
