Not really. When friends of mine went to pc, they actually was humble to everyone about it too. In fact it wasn't just numbers as they also once use to claim it was. Those ''numbers'' indicates how you perform and how the group perform. I honestly rarely see people harras others with parsers but I understand why, since harrasment is harrasment. I just find it mindnumbing how people plays an MMO and forget there is teamplay in the group. If I had to choose a healer who only heals while the other healers knows the dmg income by heart, I obviously pick the last healer. Like I would keep the DRG who saves b4b till boss comes back and not use it right before boss disappear. Things like this matter in a fight and doing a dummy (as you suggested) wont tell players not to do that. As stated very many times before, dummy does jack shit. I think they should add dummies with mechanics too so they need to dodge and do damage as well.
