How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

Maybe it's just me but I would rather DPS focus on the fight not the meter because "OMG parse"

or a tank focus on tanking not the meter because "OMG Parse"

or a healer focus on healing not the meter because "OMG Parse"

But hey I am not one of the "Better players". I'm just a dude that has fun.

The only time generally anyone with a parser looks at it is after 1) a clear or 2) a wipe. After a clear to see how they stacked up or after a wipe to see where they need to improve. I can't think of anyone who really pays attention to it mid fight.

ACT - the leading third party parser tool for FFXIV, has an ingame overlay, so it blends right in seemlessly over the game...so yea, people monitor it constantly during combat. Such as this.
