How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[Speaks]

Sadly parsers are most of the time using as epeen/elitist meter than anything. Usually the rotations arent THAT hard that need a program to say to you "hey wrong rotation, last one was better " you can just use a dummy and practice, and fflogs high percentiles are bloated with those epeen meters by inflating their job focusing every possible buff of the raid on them to increase "muh dps". Even if overall fflogs give a general image of each job potential, some of their parses are heavily tampered favouring of the focused job in detriment of the rest

Even on WoW top raiders started to stop using those meters because players stopped caring about mechanics to not lose dps forcing the healers to go on overload healing damage that shouldnt be happening on the first place and covering for their intentional messes

So "in theory" they don't matter. "Rotations aren't that hard" after all.

What class do you happen to play by chance with that opinion? It wouldn't be a class or job with an extremely easy overall rotation, would it? I assume then that you play NIN, MNK or BLM then. You would never play the simplest DPS in the game with that opinion, say RDM for example. Obviously the previously mentioned jobs have easy rotations or are easy to play.

Your statement about bloated numbers shows you don't actually know much of anything about FFlogs in general though. I have a friend who is an orange parse abacus white mage who raids quite seriously (far more so than myself) and I can assure you they are not getting bloat.

Cite your source on WoW raiders no longer needing parsers please.

Usually a single person is not a cause for a enrage unless its really slacking or not having low ilv. One is fixed by paying a minimun of atention during the fight and the other by using party finder and putting minimum ilv to join as a security blanket

The old "is X person fault we enraged" is quite rare and more like " almost half of the raid or more didnt use their damage tools properly" or "people kept dieing for not doing mechanics properly and our damage went to the garbage bin"

Ah yes this excuse. So if the rDPS to clear choas were theoretically 34k or so, and you were getting near max DPS from everyone else including the healers and it was in the first week or three of the tier but you had a SMN pulling 2k DPS resulting in 30k rDPS who would you like to ask to pull their damage up? Yeah wait you don't know the SMN is pulling 2k because when they practice on SSS they finish fine.
