How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[starlesss]

i finally managed to read all 62 pages of this tread and decided to make a tl:dr of the people against parsers:

People will be mean to me because my damage is low.

its toxic to not accept someone because their a liability and we should all carry them even if its a farming party.

you don't need a parser to improve. you just gotta be amazing at the and read a guide and then run something perfectly.

the introduction of parser will not improve the communities skill level.

theorycrafters find everything out with simulations and ability descriptions.

FFlogs is toxic

japan's mentality is different and so yoshi-p wont introduce official parsers to avoid potential toxicity (the only legit argument i can remember reading in this tread)

people say WoW is toxic, WoW allowed parsing that means parsing brings toxicity

they shouldn't put parsing because raiders are elitist and will abuse it.

and my favorite parcers=the devil (you would think people would think a bit more about what they say after experiencing HW)

I was on the fence about parsers at the beginning thinking it could possibly lead to more toxicity. But reading trough this tread made me realize that SE should stop coddling us, because it seems the most toxic people are the non parsers living in there bubble

They're not wrong.

Putting both so context isn't lost.

So yes, there will be players that won't improve even if one was put in. That's going to exist.

In those cases, where the player feels it's justified to do 5th percentile in a farm party, we can remove them. Honestly, with what I've seen, some people get into content and aren't even playing the game. Why can do them a favor by replacing them. Instead of not playing the game in Suzaku ex, they can not play the game in Idylshire.

People aren't expecting some 90th percentile god in there. But they're probably expecting a dps to do more dps than the tank was doing in ARR. If they don't want to learn, they can stay out of parties that want things done. They can hang out with Mr. Butcher Block Only No Combo over in Snowclolak.

Mostly because even with an official parser, the majority will refuse to utilize it because "who cares if I'm doing half what the tank does, I play this game for fun" and "dodging mechanics is more important <dies to mechanic>".
