And then everybody who is not capable to perform above an arbitrary level of performance set by the community's zeitgeist will be shunned, left out and kicked from EVERY party - from daily roulettes to savage statics. EVERYBODY will be EXPECTED to min/max their characters to oblivion and back, regardless of how casual they are or if that level of performance being demanded from each and every player is actually needed to clear said content.
The people that want to act that way already do regardless of an official parser, just because you add a parser is not going to make the majority of players suddenly turn into jerks like you think.

I played WoW for years and its not nearly as bad as you make it out to be, there were a few more jerks but I think that had to do with the game having a more younger player base rather then parsers and in casual content is was very rare to see people calling out your dps most people dont care like ffxiv unless its extremely bad and in that case I don't mind it being called out as long as its healthy criticism.

I wouldn't mind if they would be at least be willing to test it out with a personal one and see what happens I don't think it will change the game very much.
