    However, by limiting the content a parser is available in to these types of fights, the casual crowd, who typically do not even attempt to undertake these kinds of fights, would remain free of having jackasses constantly berate them because they may not be doing the best DPS humanly possible in Antitower Roulette.
    I would be ok with this suggestion. Or just a personal parser everywhere. Surely tight-knit savage teams trust each other enough to not lie about their numbers? Either way, I don't really care what goes on in the end-game circles as long as it doesn't drip down to casual content. "Git gud or be called out (and you have only yourself to blame for being picked on)" as Seraphix so eloquently put it, is exactly the type of attitude I don't want to see imposed on anyone during my time in-game, and I'll happily avoid harder content to save myself from that cringe fest.

    By the way I liked your post, because you are one of the few people to take into account the concerns of both sides without dismissing them as irrelevant or deflecting an issue by bringing up another. A lot of the time people talk past each other when discussing parsers. Pro-parser people are worried about not clearing (in hard content), and anti-parser people are worried about increasing hostility or a more competitive atmosphere (in casual content). Understanding the environments where those concerns rise from is important when trying to find a solution that suits everyone. Seems we have reached a good compromise. Now I'm curious to see if my other prediction comes true.
