    Please, do share these companies' social media policies and let me know where they say that. If you can do that, I'll concede defeat.
    you don't watch news out;ets much. I suggest phill defranco on youtube. People have been in the past fired over pictures on social media. Such as school teachers. Google it.

    here another one http://fox8.com/tag/teacher-fired-over-facebook-photo/

    another one http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ss...censes_fo.html

    so yes it does happen

    Another good example is the woman who was just fired because someone snapped a picture of her flipping off Trump's motorcade in spite of the fact that she was on her own time and the picture showed nothing connecting her to the company, nor did any of her social media profiles. The company still said it was "bad for their image" and terminated her anyway.

    Slightly ironic in that she's the one who told her company about it. Since you can't see her face in the picture it's unlikely they would have been able to identify her if she hadn't said anything.

    However if someone ever brings up I'm not doing enough DPS, when I tank. I report them. There is no built in way to really know how much DPS someone is doing.
    If you're familiar enough with the class you're looking at you don't need a parser to tell when someone is sandbagging it even if they're not playing poorly in an obvious way. Using the wrong moves, not landing positionals, casting the wrong spells, not using CDs, having too much MP, having too much TP, standing idle for long periods of time--these are all things that lead to subpar performance and they're all very easily observed with your eyes.

    Wrong moves, Ya but basic rotation, tanks have 3 combos, for there primary rotations.
    We are talking about Tanking. Outside of overpower what Positionals, What DPS spells, (I don't know anything about DRK at all),Sorry as a warrior MP not an issue. PLD Self cures and flash oo Not DPS... Having to much TP Means Your spamming overpower to much. Being AFK is being afk.

    Also War is great in SB, it's not weak at all when played properly. And another thing, reporting anyone who says you're not pulling your weight is a pretty childish behaviour, whether they use a parser or not, just saying.
    It's not or people wouldn't be able to clear turn 9 still but GEAR is greater then > skill.
    As soon as people over gear for content you get to skip phases of battle. This isn't skill this is gear being greater then content > skill.

    Also for basic take a look at this.

    Commendations.
    If I play dps I only give it out to other dps.
    If I play tank I only give it out to healers.
    If I play healer I only give it out to tank.

    Only if they should be getting a commendation.
    There are always exceptions to the rules!

    I also maintain that skill > gear. And the example you took is fallacious. People can clear A9s now not only because of gear, but level gap and echo as well. At least use relevant content.
    Moreover, the output damage of a skilled person vs average/ below average is so great that it outweights their gear. This is what i mean by skill > gear. And don't use more fallacious examples by taking extrems gear gaps.

    I thought it was obvious that I was speaking generally about different visually discernible signs for all classes, but maybe I should have been more clear. I know that you and this thread are primarily talking about tanking.

    But if you want a tank-specific example: A tank spamming nothing but their enmity combo even when there's no one in the group remotely close to overtaking their threat or otherwise camping their tank stance when they have no real reason to.


    It's not or people wouldn't be able to clear turn 9 still but GEAR is greater then > skill.

    Good gear doesn't automatically breeze people through tough content by itself. Skipping phases in relevant content still takes both good knowledge of the fight and knowledge of how to play your class well, i.e. "skill". If it were primarily based on gear, Savage wouldn't always have such a low clear rate. By your logic, by the time most players were in full tome gear, Savage clears should skyrocket.

    FFLogs isn't an add-on. You could argue that information on the site is obtained using a parser, but that's a tenuous position at best.

    There's many who believe calc.exe that comes with Windows is a bannable 3rd party program.

    Though I haven't heard of tanks being booted for low dps. If they need that much more DPS, why bring a tank?
