I don't care if people hiss at me. There is a reason Square does not want these to be apart of the game. They create elitism. You shouldn't be looking at your group for whose fault it is. If you aren't able to clear a fight even though you are passing it mechanics then your group isn't able to clear it. Witch hunts are toxic. If you are claiming that they are being used as tools to help your DPS then to that I tell you that the game makes it very obvious as to what gear or stats are a dps increase. Rotations? The game highlights which skills have procced. The effectiveness between a good player using a parser as opposed a equally skilled/geared player can't be more than 5% difference.

Try playing the game for a patch where no one in your party uses a parsing program. Tell me if there is a difference in the mood in your group. It becomes more about cooperation instead competition. If people in your group are still witch hunting then they might just be toxic players at their core.
