How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[RuleofThree]

Instead of assuming, have you tried...asking? Also, mods are lenient, but not that lenient. I've had a couple posts deleted, presumbly because of language, so, you know, ease up some, ya?

Asking a person that is verbally abusing you, seems a good approach.

Disgruntled Party Member: "God your bad, don't ever queue up as tank again."
Me: "Is that so? I must apologize my good sir, for dark knight is not my main, and I am merely doing this for an achievement. By my understandings, I am doing everything as best as I am able, given the restraints of my equipment. Can I inquire as to what I did wrong?"
Disgruntled Party Member: "Being bad."
Me: "I understand, friend, but could you please give me a bit more information as to how to improve?"
Disgruntled Party Member: "By uninstalling."
Disgruntled Party member has left instance.

And...barring the frustration and sarcasm in my postings here? This was asking. It took this long to get what I was going after, which is a number from a presumably informed player, of which I could take, and validate as needed. Before that, it was 'omg look at fflogs lolz.' or 'who cares, it's not extreme/savage content.' or 'lolz iLevel doesn't matter anyway, just do your rotations.'

No, your given number isn't exact I don't expect it to be. But I know the four to five thousand dps tanks are pushing out now is not the place to start, and I had no way of knowing what too low was either. Your number lets me know where to aim..rather than leaving me floundering for an estimate of my own.

Quite honestly, before this? I was going to give up and assume 2.5-2.75k is the 'average' Not 3k, so at least that error was avoided.
