Just saying that if it is not common for you or those around you does not mean it is any less of an issue for those players that are not up to the already fairly low bar.
I maybe wasn't clear enough but I do tons of DF and PF content with randoms. I have seen some very bad players and I've seen some epic scale bad players.... and yet I still haven't seen this parser abuse yet in 4 years. I understand that me being a raider myself I am unlikely to come across people with issues with my contribution level, but I am in groups with randoms enough where I think I would have seen something by now even if said abuse was not directed at me personally.

Seems to cast doubt on it being a frequent occurrence in-game. All the times I've seen people kick other players from PF groups was due to said player repeatedly failing the same mechanics over and over in a group where the PF required those mechanics already be learned. I have not seen anyone kicked for parse numbers so far.

In DF almost all the kicks I have seen that were not for AFK/Offline were due to trolling and/or verbal abuse against fellow party members.

So yes I have seen people get upset at others for failing mechanics and/or wiping the group, but none of those reasons are parser related since it is easy to see when someone dies often, fails mechanics, or wipes the group. General role failure as well...you don't need a parser to see if a tank isn't keeping hate, getting one shot by tank buster because no mitigation, or a healer that isn't healing. These reasons are the most frequent causes of disputes in my experience over the 4 years of doing content.
