Parsing unfair but okay?

But you have hard enrages here. You are set on a clock to kill a boss. You need the DPS.
Seriously, is playing the game as intended is now "toxic wow elitism" whilst curebotting is the norm?

You won't clear an ultimate with 2 afk healers or a freestyle Sam or an ice blm

I have no problem with people working to improve their personal performance to beat an enrage in top-tier content. But I do see a problem when someone calls out someone else out for poor damage when we're in a dungeon daily that took 25 minutes to clear instead of 20. I have zero clue as to what's going on with each player in real life on the other side of the screen. Maybe they're mostly watching Netflix and actually wasting our time.. or maybe they have a legitimate disability and are trying their best to make it work. But the person in the group beating them over the head with the parse doesn't know (or apparently care about) the difference. And the more we normalize parse usage the more that seems to happen.

If people just used parses to improve their personal performance everything would be fine. But let's be honest.. the chances of no one using a parse as a weapon to attack someone else is pretty much zero.

This is the issue though. I think a vast majority of people who use parses would agree that berating someone else is wrong. Having said that, it also wouldn't be fair for someone who is not as good to think they should be able to join a group of high performing players, and be upset when they are declined.
