Yes, people will be jerks, this is a given. That fire's been burning since the world's been turning. An official parser, though, would be lighter fluid to that fire.
    OR... OR... An official parser would actually give YOU a way to see who is actually underperforming, and not just take the abuse by the tank... The fact that only ONE person has access to this information makes it way worse.

    Anyways.
    1) Idiots are going to be idiots, normal people are going to be normal people, seeing the numbers won't change either and you will still be able to report for harassment.
    2) Why is it OK that Tanks and Healers are required to perform to 120% of their job capabilities, while DPS can easily get away with doing less than 50% in the majority of content?

    Question -- is this discussion going to happen before or AFTER the vote to kick? Will there be an adjudication session lasting at least 2 minutes while everyone carefully goes through their own parser output?

    Question -- in all content except end-game, who gets to decide what underperforming means?

    Question -- how are Tanks and Healers rated for performance, except for "I didn't die" and "the tank kept aggro" ? Can we automatically turn off the tanks numbers so we can compare job performance of tanks AS TANKS and healers AS HEALERS and not DPS?

    Why does many who advocate an "official parser" seem to believe that the majority of content in this game needs one?

    Question -- Would advocates for an "official parser" be satisfied if it was personal. Period.

    1. Does it matter?

    2. Well, the party obviously, the same as now.

    3. Well, umm, parsers do more than just tell damage out. But yes, your examples are the baseline for tanks and healers.

    4. Because a lot of them have seen the actual numbers, and know how bad things are. Or because they want to use one to improve themselves or their team. There really isn't one answer to anyone of the questions you asked. If you think there is, well, you don't know parsers.

    5. Well, once again, that questions has a lot of answers. I would use one, but I wouldn't really be satisfied with one. A personal parser is a very limited tool.

    I'm not sure about the Period at the end of your questions though. At first I thought you broke your actual "." button, but there is one before and after it.
