How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

However, if you could parse people in-game without the website, then I bet people could, and would, use the parsing tool to be jerks in content where you don't need parses, IE, leveling roulette etc.

That's why I mentioned "self-only parser". So you only see your own numbers. Atm you get jerks who blame others for bad dps when they're not using a parser anyway (when they themselves have bad dps) , so things won't change much. In fact some delusional jerks might have their own eyes opened if they could see their own dps. And like I said, there's still the report and blacklist function.

Yeah I've said earlier in the thread, I'm fine with personal private only parsers. I'd like to be able to see how my DPS is, but I don't want anybody else seeing my numbers, lol.
