    Under what conditions, pray tell, is it acceptable to literally be foaming at the mouth enraged over a video game?
    No, I'm asking why you're blaming the parser for someone making the run so much harder for their teammates that it was worth the several minutes to replace said player than to just finish the run, or on the rare occasion, people asking someone half-asleep at the wheel in content that'd be made less stressful for everyone else to actually... do what can be reasonably expected of someone who chose to participate in that content.

    This isn't even a matter of "I've a terminal disease and would have been happier had I not known about it." It's just a matter of being informed, in this case, of a gross imbalance in effort put in for rewards earned. As with any other form of information, people can choose to do with that information what they will. That a group may find it easier to replace someone despite the high cost of doing so, or thought it was worth asking that person to do more than half the throughput of their partners in role despite being answerable to the same proddings themselves in the future, says more about that already extant conflict than it does about their having had real information, instead of mere guesswork or their own myopic finger-pointing, to go off of.

    But, again, did the parser enable that?

    It took some serious stress to one's team back in TBC for them to go to the trouble of exiting, shouting, inviting, summoning, and reentering to replace you. It seems unlikely that a parser would uniquely enable a group to (want to) kick someone stressing out their team to that degree.
