    So it mean that you prefer to actually "enjoy" that sort of experiences over and over? It is very difficult to find a good "farm" party with party finder, it is very rare to be surprised by the quality of your mates when doing something with strangers.
    I don't know for you but the wiping/carrying experiences with party finders isn't something I personally enjoy. That's the reason why I no longer join them.
    Bad leaders exist everywhere on every servers, total-jerks are well know for being jerks by others and an ingame parser service will not change anything about them.

    But a personal parser would be an incredible tool for self improvement, very needed since the game isn't going to teach you anything the hard way when it come to endgame contents during your leveling process.

    DPS numbers are good and all, but not dodging plumes/dives/divebombs tend to wipe a party too. I just know what I'm getting into when I join a party. People are far too fixated on numbers to realize that if you die, your DPS becomes 0. I'd rather run with someone with slightly low DPS that can stay up in Titan EX versus a DPS god that dies on the first plume (which happens far more often than most admit - and I turn it into a drinking game).

    But that's the difference between a "Learning" group, a "Going for clear", and a "farm" group. Each have an explicit expectation on skill (aka how good you are with MECHANICS).
