I am not sure why Bioware does not offer an in game version of combat parse so we can just check it right there. Instead we are going to have to rely on external sources. Sadly many players do not practice good web safety and they will get their accounts stolen. This impacts us all because now the customer service people are even more tied up dealing with an issue that would have been very simple to avoid. Scare tactics now? Seriously? I, for one, hope Battleclinic supports combat logs for TOR. They do for EVE, and there are no worries there.

People getting their info stolen from a malicious web site is a scare tactic? Pretty sure that's a valid issue and something that happens to people every single day.

There is no need to log on to anything, you can get hijacked simply by visiting a malicious web site. Bioware could prevent at least this one issue by making the data parse in game. Very simple solution since the data is already there.

Neither the 2 work as an argument for you. an ingame system to show only your own dps to improve your dps has never once been argued against.

An interesting corollary to the Phantom Douche Theory. And no, not really a concern.

I love how people say blame the anti meter brigade. I mean lets not even consider the leagues of jerks that made post after post screaming about the "Bads" and how they weren't fit to live and should kill themselves. That might have had something to do with the devs decision.
No one hates Star Wars as much as "Star Wars fans"
