Would you like an in-game parser?

[Reiryuu]

For example, in hockey games, your shots on net, saves, hits, goals, points, time on ice, time on offensive, +/- (etc.) are all recorded and posted for you to see. In a work environment, your performance metrics are undoubtedly recorded (i.e. sales numbers, revenue, expenses, clients, satisfaction rate etc.). In these situations, it is important to have these metrics visible by all for two major reasons. First, your performance often affects your team, and thus it is important to your teammates to know your strengths/weaknesses, where you can improve etc. Second, having this information sparks competition, which is an excellent motivator to improve.

But in each of those situations I'm actually getting paid to put up with said evaluations. I am paying to play a video game here. While I do the best I can, I'm certainly not going to cry if Tommy the Tank can't get out of his dungeon 3 seconds faster because I am not pissing through my mp by spamming holy with Presence of Mind up. Can Tommy the tank tell I'm not doing that without a parser? Sure. Will Tommy the Tank be able to wave numbers in my face of all his buddy whms that do 100dps more than me to finish the dungeon 3 seconds faster? Nope.

I am sorry to say this, but it is people like you who make me avoid raiding. I don't like being a burden and I am extremely self conscious of what I do. As I said, I play the game for entertainment and enjoyment. If I want stress and scrutiny over my every move I'll go to work where I get paid for that.
