Serious question...why is it apparently so bad to say, "I don't want to group with people who aren't good at this game"? I don't think the idea of SSS being mandatory is a good one, but I think giving people the ability to make it a requirement for PF is hardly the atrocity the forums are making it out to be. It's kind of the same thing with parsers - is fear of rejection such a crippling prospect to people that they'd prefer everyone remain ignorant of their performance?

When I started this game, I had people who wouldn't take me as a SCH for Titan HM and a guy from Blue Gartr tell me I should "delete my tanking job" when I attempted to PLD for LotA. Rejection happens; a-holes happen. These things happened without SSS, and without an in-game parser. Why does everyone have to feel included when these are clearly people you don't want to group with anyway? Why is it not okay for some players to want to group only with people that meet their arbitrary grouping criterion, whether it's "must do x DPS" or "must be catgirl with full Thavnairian glamour"?

I won't pretend like people are innocent saints who only want parsers to improve themselves, and not judge others. But I've played like three games with parsers now and sucked at all three and nobody has said a thing. I think you all will be fine.
