    If the players got banned for harassment, wouldn't then players abusing official parser still get banned for harassment?

    It's more of preventing people harassing in the first place, but I guess people have used parsers against the rules for that long that it wouldn't make a difference anyway. I don't really care whether a parser would be implemented but at the same time it's saddening to see people be harrased because their DPS isn't that of a maxed out player.

    Edit: by the way, I'm not arguing against the thread. My point was that people do get harrased because of parsers.

    For me it is saddening to see tanks and healers harassed because the dps is low and soft enrage mechanics make it harder on both roles. As some may see parser to cause toxicity, I see it as defensive tool for the two roles. I don't use parser, but it isn't hard to tell that due to low dps fights last longer, more healing is required, and also longer the fight more probable mistakes - yet there are no data to back it up. Less experienced tanks/healers then get discouraged from tanking/healing, because they assume that they are bad, while in fact, the dps are bad, but in this game it is too easy to blame the tanks/healers for mistakes of subpar dps players.
