How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[RuleofThree]

And if the rest of the party is at least not stupid they know how gear and experience works and what verbal abuse is.
So they schould side with you and not the abuser.
But hey, anonymity in the internet and all are jerks if they don't have to face responsibility, right?

You guys sure like to cling to the 'responsibility' argument a lot. I mean, I'm assuming you read the rest of the post, particularly the parts declaring that I am not a masterlist dark knight, and that while I drop tank stance, and follow proper rotation protocol, I don't have the finer nuances of weaving and optimization down to a fine toothed comb. This is, in effect, taking responsibility for me being a 'mediocre at best' dark knight.

But hey, I guess taking responsibility means accepting your are not raid level in every job, and until you are, you can not run anything because...well...you're bad, and no one wants a bad person. I mean...the numbers say so...you are just....bad. So take responsibility...and get out.

I mean I will state again, and will continue to do so ad nausea, because people seem to ignore this fact about me: I am for the use of parsers. I think the current stance SE has of "Don't ask don't tell. Out of sight out of Mind. As we don't see you abusing it, you can use ACT as a third party." is perfectly fine. People like numbers. To be honest, I don't mind them as well. The majority of the arguments here that numbers can be seen as a way to improve is TRUE. Again I know I'm an 'ok' dark knight. I see my numbers...it's good enough to do dungeons, but shit for anything else.

I don't need some asshat rubbing this flaw of mine in my face as well. This is why parsers should remain third party, behind closed doors, don't ask don't tell like it is now. Because legalizing them opens up the availability for people to rub those flaws into your face without reprimand.
