However, there is nothing dishonest about saying specifically what one would use it for personally though. There is also nothing dishonest about what one thinks it would be used for. There are just as many people who recall from WoW, apparently the only example in the world, both parsers being used in a "toxic" manner and those who remember it going over pretty smoothly. It all depends on who you ask.

Like when you said that using parsers in battle is only to kick people or judge people. For me, that's not true. I specifically do it to improve how I play the game and determine weaker points in the fight for myself, and nothing more. Then I attempt to improve. I just do not care enough about other people to make a fuss about them. They are irrelevant.
Anyone telling you that parsers in their experience was only ever a smooth experience is either lying or didn't play that much of the game with parsers.

For you then I have to ask why you really feel the need for a parser in the fight? You should know intuitively when you mess up during the fight. I know from my own experiences for example my dps just went in the crapper after I popped my burst cooldowns and then am forced to immediately run or die. A parser isn't needed for that. Something like deadly boss mods that can give you timers and warnings about fight phase changes is what will really help you plan your ability usage and maximize your dps in the fight. All the parser would do for you is confirm what you should already know. Is this absolutely something that you need?

So, sorry, but yes, group parsers in fights are absolutely for making judgments.
