Ok, I may have missed a bit of the discussion trying to catch up on this as well as a number of other things. So long as the feature is limited to only being available in those situations, while both it and the combat log details that allow third party programs are disabled in all other content, I wouldn't mind so much about a parser being party-wide.

But even there it's not necessary. You can just as well discuss with your party members why an attempt failed. In fact, that will generally do better for you than simply having the parser give out everyone's numbers, because although low DPS can cause a wipe, it's far from being the only problem that can. The combination of personal parsers and a group willing to talk to each other gives you everything a party-wide parser would.

And given that I do think we need the personal parser regardless, and available much sooner, in all dungeons/trials, I think that's what SE should focus on. Provide us the part that's useful everywhere. Remove the part that leads to both inequality of access and to harassment. Then in the specific cases where more info would be helpful, it's content where you should be communicating with your team anyway.
