Something that must be considered though is that something like that could have happened parser or no parser. The DPS harassment was just one of many things they did, and even without an official parser, she still would have been harassed. None of that has anything to do with not wanting to party with people based on performance in party finder or vote kicking in duty finder.

    Even then, I'd still say your own experiences are anecdotal. I don't doubt people are dumb and votekick for dumb reasons, but I would argue most situations where a votekick happens, a votekick would have happened anyway.

    That said, WoW devs regretting that they have allowed dps parsing made me chuckle.
    And adding an in game parser would simply make it worse. Parsing is a great tool, its also notoriously used for harrassment/bullying.
