Right here in this thread, a group of players used parser data in a negative way against another player.

That\\\\'s the kind of community that Yoshi-P doesn\\\\'t trust to have official parsers.
You’re completely uninformed. It’s not over the signature, that’s just the cherry on top... he claimed he was better than 99% of the pc players on a ps4 vs pc forum. He dragged it here by just tossing out that he reports anyone using one. I informed them why he does this. Hard data should ALWAYS be used to back up claims. Always! Also the community doesn’t shame in game but they are sure to on public forums by people who are toxic at the getgo. He was toxic, he was outed, and I stand by all the hard data presented. Nobody ever goes out of their way just to shame a silly signature. Everyone goes out of their way when someone claims to be better than a large portion of the community and not even in a sly way...just outright “I’m better than 99%”. There’s a solid lesson to be taken from this and I’m glad we have the tools to do so. Without these tools it would be bad for the community. There’d be a much slower/smaller raiding scene. Statics would be so unstable. People wouldn’t have the data to improve in the top end. Competitive nature keeps A LOT engaged longer in this game than say the more casual content. Nothing easy feels great to achieve. Most of this is remedied by a single tool, one single tool. Accountability is afforded by this same tool. Without it I do not think the game would last nearly as long. These tools provided goals that aren’t tangible in game but are nonetheless more engaging than most the rewards in the game. Casuals don’t have to like it and don’t have to use it. By those means it’s a bit easier to separate skill levels and link up people of similar skill without telling them to hit a dummy for three minutes and rely on that. Act doesn’t just record dps as I stated. And if you think it’s only used for that then you’re completely uninformed and against something you don’t even understand. There is a word for a group of people like that in this day and age, and it’s not anything nice or defended. Yet you defend your uninformed point of views without even understanding what you’re upset by. It’s 2019...nothing is allowed to be hidden anymore lol
