Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

In a perfect world everybody would be seeking self improvement... but till we reach that point the fear of being called out for playing poorly is one of the best motivators there is.

Many of the players don't care that they are pulling others down, while they have their sweet anonymity, but the second somebody could blame them for it... personally I would rather learn my rotation to avoid risking the abuse.

A good most of those people are trolls though ^^;;

Exactly, this is the double edged sword i was talking about. Anxiety can lead to poor performance sometimes. If a player is more worried about making mistakes they may make even more mistakes. Some people dont work well under pressure. I have essential tremor in the hands, neck, and arms. I shake involuntarily under pressure or anxiety. I dont want to make it sound like a handicap, im more than capable. Knowing im being parsed though just adds more pressure, especially around unfamiliar people in a party or an unexperienced dungeon/raid. I'm simply saying the parser isnt for everyone, but self improvement seems like a very legit reason to have it, as long as its toggleable... Being called out is fine but there are "ways" that (could but likely wont) be handled that dont instil fear...
