Lmao here we go again. Hard to believe that I first saw a topic like this back in 2013. Nine years later, here it is again.
You misspelled Titanmen :-D
Oh yes by all means give people more reason to belittle, harass and suck all the enjoyment of playing a game in their free time by “scoring” people on a scale that most times isn’t even relevant to someone’s competence. *EYEROLL*. Dps meters already totally destroyed the joy and camaraderie of raiding in this game. Isn’t that enough??
See here's the problem, game is based on pulling your weight in a partyOh yes by all means give people more reason to belittle, harass and suck all the enjoyment of playing a game in their free time by “scoring” people on a scale that most times isn’t even relevant to someone’s competence. *EYEROLL*.

Since when has ACT ruined the joy of raiding in this game? Do you even do savage/ultimates? Or are you just, *gasp*, making baseless claims?Oh yes by all means give people more reason to belittle, harass and suck all the enjoyment of playing a game in their free time by “scoring” people on a scale that most times isn’t even relevant to someone’s competence. *EYEROLL*.

So I guess you missed the instances where folks are bullied due to not having as high a performance as others. There's a reason SE hasn't put it in the game officially. Let's not pretend this stuff doesn't happen. We literally have folks in these treads saying they would or have kicked for supposed "dead weight" reasons.
If you're referring to the Koike incident, it's quite disingenuous to blame parsing. While yes, they bullied the woman over her poor performance. They also took to Twitter and harassed her further with sexual remarks and a whole host of other awful things. These were people who made up their mind to be horrible and likely would have done so in any way they could. You can just as easily harass someone via Vote Dismissal, stalking or tell spam—all of which were just as against the rules as belittling someone over their performance. Should we remove those features too?So I guess you missed the instances where folks are bullied due to not having as high a performance as others.

Not wanting parsing openly acknowledged in the game is one thing but trying to insinuate it will be the root cause of toxicity is just unfounded doomsay. The only way parsing would ever get that bad is if SE suddenly stopped enforcing their harassment policy.
