I tend towards suggesting to such players that they join a social FC, make friends and ask those friends if it would be OK if they helped them through anything that was too difficult for them. This covers many situations including the one we are discussing, but also situations where players are actually impaired, preventing them from be capable of playing beyond specific levels. I know several players who despite some significant challenges or impairments to their capability to react quickly, or execute rotations anything remotely like perfectly; absolutely enjoy playing FFXIV. There is nothing more satisfying to me than being part of a group of friends that helps players in that situation to complete content that otherwise would gate them from progressing the MSQ.

An environment where players use parser data to demand that others improve their performance would be unpleasant for players such as those I am describing. That is one of the downsides to parsers as far as I am concerned.
