    This entire "anti-parser" crusade just makes no sense to me.

    See, let's not pretend that players using 3rd party parsers is a very rare thing. Almost every single group(even in dungeons) has at least one person running a parser. So all that not having a built-in parser creates is a disadvantageous enviroment for ps4 players and PC players who can not run parsers since they can be kinda buggy at times(there is a friend of mine who can not get ACT to work no matter what).

    Also, a couple of weeks ago I was on a O2s pug group and we had two 2~3% wipes in a roll for not meeting the enrage timer. I myself was running ACT and I could see that, although the group's damage was nothing too impressive there was a monk struggling to get past the 1.8k dps marker even without dying once. The group leader also was running a parser and stated that the monk was not doing his job and kicked him, then we pugged another dps and the boss was dead on the next try.

    What I mean here is: without a parser we would have no way of knowing where the group's flaw was. And with no hints of how to correct it the group would just disband and 7 players would have to waste time looking for another group when they already were in an almost perfectly fine group.

    I have said this, other people have said this, but let me put this here again: In wow parsers have been a thing for a very long time, and usually as long as one is not doing like 50% less than everyone else and the dps meters are being met no one actually talks shit about how the group dps is doing. Ofc it's a different thing if you are looking for a more serious group to clear mythic content, but for lfr/normal/late patch heroics? Never seen anyone say a thing unless in the cases I described above.
