Would you like an in-game parser?

sorry about the double post, but I felt this needed it's own post.

I have been doing some thinking about this. Bad players tend to fit into 3 categories:
a) bad players that are unaware that they are bad
b) bad players that know they are bad but are struggling/don't know how to improve and
c) "I pay my sub so I can play how I want even if it means wasting your time"

There's 1 more group. The "elitist" bad player that think they're supa hot fire but are actually super bad. Rage at everyone else, think they're God's gift to the game, and refuse to take any criticism for improvement or otherwise.

They're basically the dunning krueger children - they think they are way better than they really are but have such huge egos you can't help them at all. They're in every game.

Nah, that's group C, but I can expand my explanation haha

Well I usually run into those players who know they're bad but they don't care. They know the suck, they know they're not playing right but "they're casual" or "it's just a game" or "Who cares, we're winning" etc... Like they objectively know they're trash they just can't be assed to do anything about it.

On the other hand the 4th group is both a and c combined. They DON'T know they're bad. They THINK they are amazing. But you can't tell them they're bad. Not because you can't talk about parsers or anything, but because they know better than you. They've been playing longer, are Diamond ELO, have beaten every savage raid, they're world first raiders and have better gear than you so shut up noob

Then surely parser numbers will tell them otherwise. A global parser keeps them from getting away with it in raids, and a personal parser at least flashes their skill level in front of them, so they will either become a playertype B and actually realise how bad they are, or a playertype C in that they don't care what others think and there's no system in the world that could possibly help their ignorance.
