How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[Maeka]

Parser WITHOUT limitations are toxic. You need to put a lot of limitations to make it safe. I think now some like:

- The option to hide your numbers to other players (It appear as "Hide" or something in other people parser).
- Game masters who actually look at this and not fall in the "different playstyles" bullshit, because in this case does not apply, and punish players actually abusing it.
- Only available on premade parties and dummies.
- Heavily pursue any party finder with "Only XXX parser and must be active not hide or kick".

You probably will need a warning every time you activate it, saying you must not use it to harass people or exclude them for not having X number, or demanding activate it, and you can be banned for doing it etc, etc. All with red letters.

Games communities are too much immature to handle this tool properly. So they need be watched like kids.

I rather don't give a gun to a monkey.

Or yanno, just make it so that only your own numbers appear and nobody else's, because you don't need to know what everybody else is doing. You should be focusing on your own performance. If a raid group wants to make it a requirement, then they can ask for screenshots or something.
