    So let's say as a BLM I stop to Physick someone because a healer died, the healers were just slow or it just plain ol' needed to be done. That's not going to show up as damage for me in any parser. Bad tank constantly moving the mob around for no reason?... There goes MNK and DRG DPS while potentially "inflating" BRD and BLM DPS. In 1.0 when I was constantly helping heal, stoneskin or making sure everyone had their appropriate songs because other BRD's were too busy playing ARC and saying "songs be damned" that didn't show up for me. In fact, I actually caught flak and got called out for "bad DPS" a few times in 1.0 for those very reasons.

    I understand you can't "fix" players and people that do or would antagonize others without having all the facts will do so with or without a parser but SE can control, or at least attempt to control the use and distribution of programs such as parsers which most certainly will be used to "harass" and single out other players.
