How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[Sigma-Astra]

Sadly parsers are most of the time using as epeen/elitist meter than anything. Usually the rotations arent THAT hard that need a program to say to you "hey wrong rotation, last one was better ".

If any of that were true then we wouldn't have people at level 70 not wanting to use their aggro reducing abilities, tanks not mitigating damage properly or using their enmity combos, monks/dragoons saying "hell no" to their own positionals, BLM's casting their spells out of order (or using Freeze and Blizzard constantly), MCH's not using Hotshot, etc.

I had a MNK yesterday in The Burn doing less DPS than everyone else. A MNK WHOSE DPS WAS BEING OUTDONE BY THE TANK AND THE HEALER. The other DPS was a SMN.

BUT, THE TANK AND THE HEALER.

I don't expect people to be 99th percentile, I expect them to try and be competent, and half of the time they can't even get that. A parser would at least tell them that their damage per second is awful.

Honestly, I look at people who have this exaggerated and paranoia fear of parsers as people who are afraid of finding out the truth that they're not as hot as they think they are, and I ain't perfect either. But, people can see that I at least try and relatively know what I'm doing.
