    It’s meant to be a play on the whole “the website that shall not be named” ranking system. Basically, calling him a grey parse player. Just feeding into his stereotype, which is a little unsightly. I assume that is what it correlates to.

    Unsightly, perhaps, but given some of his recent "contributions", no doubt well deserved.

    Yes, both are unsightly and unhealthy to contribution. Thing is the dude perpetuates the stereotype, and then you have people clever enough to try and conform to said stereotype. Personally, I wouldn’t exactly be surprised people holding a mindset against more complexities in the game when on several occasions the forums have used logs to try and discredit opinion, or just to borderline harass. But again, both are unsightly.

    People have been against anything they deem "difficult" since ARR. Look at how people refused to run Pharos Sirius until it got nerfed because it was "too hard", when all it required was for people to pay attention. The first boss was literally designed to teach people to not burn things down all the time, people failed it, and raged because they couldn't just focus the boss and have to kill adds. People got Steps of Faith nerfed because "doing the mechanics" was apparently too hard for people to do (the complaints about how long it takes to reset was valid though). People tried to get Final Steps of Faith nerfed because they felt it was too hard, and tried to do the same thing with Royal Menagerie. DRK in HW was "too hard" and the job got destroyed for it. The playerbase has a massive aversion to anything difficult at all. I know people who refused to run anything with the word "raid" in it until they were force to do Alliance Raids for the main story from 5.3 on.

    I'm not here for intelligent discussion, especially not with someone that can barely play their way out of a paper bag.
