Built-in Parsers

[HyoMinPark]

Just let us put this into context. Are you dealing with matchmaking content? (Roulettes, Raid Finder, and PuGs in general)? or a PF group? If on a PF, did you state clearly in recruitment the kind of level of ability and knowledge of the fight you're expecting? Or are we talking about a static?
We really need some context here, because each of those situations should handle that conundrum differently.

Taika is talking about using parsers in content where they actually matter: Savage, Ex primals, and now Ultimate. There's no need to use parsers in 4-man content or even 24-man content, and I see far more people harass others without parsers than with them. Heck, I was accused of buying my Savage clears because I lagged out in Ala Mhigo and died to a mechanic. There was absolutely nothing mentioned about my damage--just the fact that I died. I see harassment like that far more frequently than someone saying "Your numbers are trash; please uninstall."

If people aren't doing content that actually call for parsers, or where a parser would be useful, why should they care if people doing said content use it?

Also, threatening to report people that one suspects may be parsing is just as dickish of a move as someone using a parser to harass. Which, again, does not happen nearly as often as a lot of people claim.

I just want to emphasise this by adding the sheer number of people I've seen in 24 man raids whining about low DPS when they're being out-dps'd by healers is baffling. They clearly aren't running a parse otherwise they wouldn't be speaking up like that. Perhaps the worst example I've seen was a Scholar in Ravana Normal who kept complaining about low DPS when we pulled without a second tank (they DC'd). This person not only forget to summon their Faerie, but was wearing level 40-45 gear, the friendship Circuit and Brand New Ring. When I called them out, his defense was "I have a level 60 Paladin. I know what I'm doing!!"
