    Nobody is saying this and if someone does, they would be mistaken.

    This is half true, there are just as many players who simply do not know as there are players who simply do not care, however having your performance laid out in the open and accountable will lead to less instances of both.

    Players who do not know are likely to find out and learn, and players who do not care are likely to get kicked if they choose not to perform the same we do now with any tank or healer in a similar situation.

    Performance feedback has been a part of MMO culture since MMORPGs first came out, theres no need for hypotheticals or opinions of possibilities when a decades worth of MMOs have already told us exactly how it will play out. The players who are likely to harass others will do so anyway as many of them already are and they will simply get reported, that's what GM's are for.

    In all likelihood as long as content remains faceroll what you'll see instead of an increase of toxicity is the same apathy many players approach 4 man content with anyway, and you'll have just as many players saying "well we cleared so who cares?" in the face of their low numbers. However the tool will be available to those who cannot access one now (console players) and it will give parties the ability to hold all roles equally accountable for their contributions, something that is far from the case now.
