It's not unusual to see communities pat themselves on the back for how great they are and how so and so community is awful because its not them, usually their direct competition (no one is like "man I love FFXIV's community, I really hated it on neopets.. ugh they're so toxic!" lol).

I tend to "I dont believe you" to any sort of tribalism, at least until a slew of large data statistics are flown around. It happens all over the place, as well it gets worse because it is also popular to hate on the big/popular fish (which WoW is both of) - so I generally take all WoW bashing with a mountain of salt, I also used to play it personally quite a bit (total time and length of range) and while yes there were rude people (just like in FFXIV) my experience wasn't marred by them (although I don't consider tips/pointing out flaws as harassment, at least depending on wording).

I haven't played recently though, and of course my experience is also "anecdotal", I'm saying it to point out just because a few people had a bad time with Y doesn't mean all of experiences of Y are the same.

Perhaps you are right but the majority of the public group finder protocol harassment is centered around tools that can be utilized for bashing like the parser. And honestly saying just put in a harassment claim is not viable because of the influx of reports for a team I doubt even 1/50th the size of Blizzard customer support team would not be able to deal with it. The parser addition has more negative then positives when there is already a system in place which is the practice dummies. Plus anyone who wants to improve themselves can look on the forums and world wide web for rotations/information and tips the same as anyone. A parser is not needed when you will know you are improving based on beating the timer on the training dummy duties faster and faster.

And quite frankly all of my arguments sums up just one thing. I do not want a parser especially when it is not needed.
