See I'd rather people be like this than on the other end of the scale (ie not knowing, but not caring). But if you were in my DF roulette as BLM, came in and said you were still learning the class and asked if anyone had any constructive feedback, how to improve or whatever, that would be 100% fine by me. I'd never have anything against people willing to learn.

I am staunchly pro parser. Not because I want to judge others, look down my nose at their inferior dps and make my epeen twitch. I am pro parser, as I think too often people join DF or PF parties, and put in absolutely zero effort, they do not know their class, and what's more they do not care, as they just expect to be carried. That is not fair to the party. Regardless, I will still always give my best, as that is what I find most fun (runs where everyone is on top of their game are the best, melting through expert in ~12 mins etc), but it is irritating when I can physically say someone making no effort at all. I think a parser would reduce the number of Netflix alt-tabbers and auto-follow SCHs. I don't think it would eliminate them entirely (DF people are still likely to do whatever, as you're unlikely to meet them again anyway), but it may reduce them.

The only content that you could argue "needs" a parser, is savage raid (inb4 someone argues you don't NEED a parser here either, yes I know, but it is extremely helpful), and I don't know of a single group attempting this content that doesn't run one. But as a PS4 player, it's inconvenient that I have to constantly ask what my numbers were.

tldr; sub-optimal but trying to learn is acceptable, DGAF-yoloing is not
