    I see it most times I venture into places like WoD which thankfully I don't bother anymore, especially with tanks. They get chewed out for losing aggro or just bad positioning, meanwhile that same person screaming is pulling 200 DPS in full ilvl130 poetics. I just facepalm and carry on.

    As for FOTM, DPS wise classes are EXTREMELY balanced. The only reason to take one of the other is the raid utility they provide. Monk has dragon kick, dragoon increases bard damage, ninja for goad and TA etc etc. There is no FOTM in terms of DPS.
    Not to mention I would take a good player over a FOTM class anytime. The difference in the DPS they can output with BIS gear and a perfect rotation/player is minimal and not worth crying over.

    Those who would kick someone in PF for doing 510 DPS for someone who can pull 520 are just stupid anyway if the fights going fine don't bother making changes.
    Honestly the only argument I see against parsers is that people don't want to be called out for doing sub-par DPS, and if you are doing low content like the towers/dungeons then yeah you are right that shouldn't happen as it doesnt matter, you can get through it with auto attacks. However for end game content yes you should be judged on how well you play your class, and if you want to join that farm party you should make sure you are contributing so you make a choice, do I care enough about beefing up my DPS to do endgame, or do I want to just carry on as is.

    Either choice is perfectly fine, the problem comes when people say screw that I will play my way and go into the end game, and they basically drag everyone down but heaven forbid we call them out for it.

    To put it in a simple way, by not pulling your weight as a DPS, you are dragging the fight on longer, which means the healers and tanks have to work harder, and the other DPS have to work harder and deal with more mechanics, not just enrage timers. I'm not saying everyone has to pull 650+, not by anymeans, but if you are seriously under performing you need to know, and you need to improve for the end game content, as for the other content yeah, no point parsing in those and anyone who called somneone out in an expert roulette is just being an idiot.
