They Should Add An Official Damage Meter With One Condition

[Kenky]

I didn't know parsers harassed Blizzard's female employees and stole their breast milk.


Yeap. The only ones being toxic and actually harassing people are the anti-parse crowd. I promise, reviewing someone's credentials to tell if they're in a position to be making a certain argument is not the same. That is, claiming "I do just fine without them" to backup their argument that no one should be allowed to use them when they, in fact, do not do just fine. A bruised ego and some petty insults are leagues behind witch hunting and mass reporting.

1. Missed the point, but hey. Your call. It's not uncommon that WoWs community was far from appealing and, sadly, to this day, it still remains that way. Probably doesn't help that GMs in WoW either don't exist, or outright tell you to /ignore and man up, rather than deal with the problem.

2. Harassment is Harassment. The length and strength of it is irrelevant. (in terms of punishing it, at least) and I'm not claiming that one side of this conversation is "the toxic one". Both sides have shown they have less-than-ideal people in their ranks. Again, go back through this very thread and you'll see. While you may see going after someone for their low-DPS as a justifiable action, on the belief that you only do it to people who claim they "do just fine". It is still using their meters as justification for harassment. So you (in a roundabout way) confirmed the stance XIV takes.

If you feel someone isn't pulling their weight in a duty / raid / roulette / etc, put them on your block list and you'll never group up with them again. You don't need to voice your personal disappointment about how they aren't meeting your personal standards. (If you are consistently wiping trial / raid fights as a result, you may be justified in calling them out, but not using numbers, obviously)

"People should just learn how to do good DPS" or people should just not be antagonistic to each other over otherwise meaningless reasons, like hitting buttons in a vidja gaem

Remember. Games (Final Fantasy is included in this, shocking I know!) are meant to be played for fun. While your fun may be topping meters, others may just want to lean back and relax. So I shall remain with my stance of "Personal dps meters at most, punishing those that abuse it."
