    Gee. Just reading the first couple pages has me a little paranoid. I play the game with no extra bells and whistles whatsoever. With using experience and knowing a run done many times to have the pattern burned into my brain, I could say "we're not doing enough damage" or "dps is kinda low, hurry, boss is about to enrage", just by looking at the hp bar of the boss. I'd really not like to suddenly be pulled aside by a GM with an accusation of using a parser. That's definitely not okay if I'm surrounded by trigger finger reporters.

    Don't worry about it. GMs take a very leisure approach to parsing. If you're blatantly calling someone an idiot and posting their DPS numbers in chat, you can get in trouble. If you have ACT running, they don't care. Likewise, you could kick someone for underperforming without ever mentioning their numbers and you'd be fine. If someone is ever randomly kicked from a Savage PF or it abruptly disbands, that's because the leader had a parse going. Basically, don't directly bring up numbers to that specific person and you're fine.
