    This happens a lot in ex primals & coil.

    No one in my FC uses a parser (I know them all personally IRL)
    My last FC with hundreds active, different story.

    I've seen partial premades vote kick in DF more than a dozen times already.
    The number of times I've seen "bad dps" and then vote kick pop up is disgusting.

    I am sure lots don't do this, I try to believe not everyone is a d-bag, but enough are that it's a problem.


    Subjective and anecdotal evidence. Provide objective arguments and actual proof that this is as widespread as you claim.

    You look at an i110 piece of gear and compare it to any i90 and tell me if you really need help choosing.

    How many i110 armor sets are there again?

    The only use I could see for a parser beyond i90 is skill rotations in which the highest DPS rotations are often quite clear.

    Parsers don't measure stuff like interrupts & silences, raising other players, songs to restore healers mp or tanks TP, proper use/timing on sleep, bio, eye for eye, agro reduction, or many of the other things that are just as important if not more than dps.

    The only thing these types of skills do is lower DPS and if you can tell who is doing stuff like this you're smart enough to know a parsers limitations and that they are not needed nor an accurate depiction of a players skill.
    There are hundreds of possible gear sets around the ilvl110 gear range and parsers actually do in fact gather all that information.

    It is clear your knowledge of parsers is based on anecdotal evidence, subjective arguments so if I were you, I would refrain from talking about this topic since it is clear that your knowledge about parsers's capacity is highly limited and as such, it makes your credibility on the matter questionable.

    Exactly. Tanks and healers are already subjected to people's critics, which is what a lot of DPS are afraid of. DPS are not special snowflakes that shouldn't be criticized ever.
