    Never had trouble with the scoreboard myself. No matter the role, however I've seen plenty of people and read plenty of threads on the forums and stuff.
    Those forums are a cesspool anyway. And as you said, civil war between devs and players, thats the heart of what was wrong with that game. I left shortly after it came to light that they intentionally left out some of the traces in time set to sell replay badges. Now I'm not sure I remember the numbers, but wasn't those numbers achievable well before that time? meaning yeah, you wouldn't be pulling your weight below that?

    The numbers were always helpful in the groups I ran with. They allowed us to push further and evaluate our runs. It showed when people were perfroming well below what was needed for clearing, and if which healers/tanks were performing.

    Anytime someone would try to pad their numbers with AOE and be an butt about it, they were called on it because people knew how to look at it, and understand it for the most part.

    The toxic part of the community is already there, the parser does not make them toxic.

    Also believing the one sided "poor me" threads on the forums is a little foolhardy. There is always another side, and is usually comical when the other side happens to see the thread.
