Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

Not to mention all the harassment DPSers would suffer for not being "up to par" with their obnoxiously high expectations of how much DPS a player should be pulling.

Not to mention when its actually wrong, because of many factors. Most parsers only start when you are in or out of combat, some of them only record certain things. A lot of parsing is based on many factors and some only pull numbers from people near or close to you. Some have problems recording "Damage over time" effects and damage prevention effects. "Why arn't you doing X?"

It also doesn't record buffs and debuffs.

Parsers are silly, you should be able to "feel" how much damage or healing you can do. You don't need them to win.
