Actually, I can. That falls under "different playstyles" and the LGM has gone on record that different playstyles is a legitimate reason for using a vote kick. In fact, the LGM is also on record stating that the reasons listed in game when initiating a vote kick are not all inclusive and you can kick people for reasons other than those listed. You also don't need a parses to know when someone is playing poorly, you can easily tell by what abilities and buffs they use as well as how they move in game. If I see a MNK just chilling behind a target, I know they aren't playing well because they are not hitting any positionals. I can look at a cast bar to see when a SMN is just spamming Ruin and can look at a mob's health bar to see the lack of dots. There are many ways to tell when someone isn't playing properly without the use of a parser. It just requires you to learn how each job works and what their rotations/priorities are when doing combat.

Back on topic:

I feel the need to point this out again as people are starting to expect something that they will not get.

If SE ever did decide to add a parser to this game, it wouldn't be a true parser. It would most likely only be a meter that shows how much dps or total damage you have done. Those expecting something similar to ACT or for those who play WoW, Skada/Recount, you are only asking yourself to be let down. I say this because look at everything we currently have in game and compare it to 2.0. How many things have been added that are as elaborate as the tools I just mentioned? You're not going to be able to pull the same data and research it like you can using other tools.

I only bring this up because I'm tired of seeing people who are pro parser using unrealistic examples of why a parser would be good. While yes, programs like ACT can indeed do the things you use in your arguments as why a parser would be good, you need to keep in mind what we are most likely to get and stage your arguments using those guidelines.
