I just dont want to see parsing as an <ahem> "official" full on requirement for raiding. Its not completely necessary, it creates more harm than good for to the community but I'm not gonna stop you if you want to form hardcore groups that use them for content.

Raiding is a team effort. You're expected to pull your weight. I personally view the unwillingness to do your job as comparatively more toxic. It's akin to a healer who fails to make the heal check - or a tank who doesn't properly mitigate during an oncoming tank buster - and so on and so forth.

Parsing only helps accurately identify the exact problem if the dps check is consistently failed and clearly defines where the party can improve. I don't understand how factual information can be viewed as 'toxic'. But - thankfully - a vast majority of the people who I raid with don't have that bemusing mindset.

I suppose it treads into 'the truth kinda sucks' territory at that point.
