Look, with or without parsers - harassment happens based on performance whether you like it or not.
A knowledgeable enough player doesn't need a parser to notice who isn't doing that well.
As said, the people that genuinely harass other people are just toxic people, and you don't need a parser to be a toxic person.


What's the difference between:
"Your damage is weak. Learn your job."
and
"You're only doing 2.5k when you should be at least over 3.5k".

If you ask me, the 2nd statement is actually a bit kinder.

Anyway to the main point..
It's a team game.
If one person is holding 7 other people back from clearing, it's absolutely acceptable that the person holding the group back, bows out. If not on their own account, then the leader has the right to remove them. Just like the leader has the right to remove someone because they don't like someone's attitude.. It's the party leader's choice in a party finder group.

Want to know why people get silently kicked? Because telling them the reason can be construed as harassment, and there are a lot of spiteful snowflakes in the world that can't take criticism - especially in the current generation.
Why should players who have been farming content for weeks (as an example), be held back or carry someone through the content that just isn't up to scratch with their performance?
I am an inclusive person, but I will feel a little frustrated if the party can't clear because one player fails to understand that they aren't performing well.
However, and here's the kicker - telling them (even with the most angelic sentence possible) will inevitably be considered "harassment".

Perhaps a parser may actually be able to show them how far behind their performance actually is - so they can you know... work to improve and beat the content on their own regard?
Just food for thought.
