The Real Problem with Parsers

[Rawrz]

I was kicked from a dungeon because i said to a bard "mind accesories" are not useful to his job. He responded me "i use mind accesories for mp" and i replied piety gives mana, mind gives heal. And bam i was outside the dungeon.

You were obviously running a parser. >:C

Saying it again for point proven.

Why is it that SE added an examine feature, which lets anyone who stands near you, or anyone just viewing your lodestone profile, look at your gear? They can track your progression, your effort and your worth.

Imagine if players didn't have the option. You suddenly can't see why your groups aren't reaching DPS checks, no one can single out anyone, because of glamour. Just little comments between each pull like "push the dps harder guys, we can do it this time." Isn't that nice?... but you're still failing content because someone, who although is a good player, is not so good as to keep up with the 20 iLevel difference between themselves and every other party member, but thinking about it, isn't being able to see someone's gear an atrocious and overstepping violation of freedom?

Alternatively, being able to examine someone lets you look at gear to set goals for, to see what other players of your class consider BiS or just the neat Glamour they are using; to be admired and to be shown new things, isn't this that same violation of privacy and privilege?

People don't kick people in average content for poor dps, because of parsers, they do because they are asses. The examine feature is enough for the toxic players to decide your worth.

Please note* You are not the toxic player. xD In this case its that people should be open to advice and constructive criticism that active gameplay, Examine Feature, and parsers can provide. D:
