On the wow beta. and again today, unable to says which comunity get the best "average gameplay level".
Fights a clearly different, WoW get PTR where some fight are tried before. Wow also get more steps to train boss after boss during a tier. (where on FF you have to do monster jumps).
But, what makes me laugh when you speak "when parser became common" ok... so when? i use parser on wow from the end of vanilla. Due to vanilla/BC i played mainly with players with parsers. because no duty finder (so less random people)
Kick? yes, it is real, during BC and WOTLK, there was tendency to get more kick in the parties, but... not "because parser" in fact, but "because parser shows people are underperforming" also, in BC i was from those guys complaining about abusiv kick, i saw so much people kicked "because not enough damages" without even asking if their class, spec, the fight they were in would fit this class. some class are really strongher in multitarget fight, and others more in one target...
Also another thing about "more kick" before current WOTLK (3.2 or 3.3) we had no DF for PvE content. it appear during WOTLK, we did discover at this time to play with fully random people, sometime from other servers. with all sillyness we can fidn (from any kind of player...) And, it made a spike of kick.
You think there were no selection during BC or Vanilla when doing HL dongeon or raid? Sure? I did sometime parties for dongeons for the "herodays". I did inspect all people wanting to join the party, checking their enchant and gems to be sure they at least did not random gear. And i can say i was not alone. maybe we were only 10% or 20% to do this in dont know and dont care, but we didnt wait parsing results to consider who accept or deny in the parties...
Even on FF, when people says "ilvl 23786 needed" it is to be nearly sure there will be enough damages. achievment + ilvl this is the same thing than parser. but... sometime, you should took the i360 guy there more than the 370 in your team, because the first one get an excellent mastery of his job, not the i370 one... Parser show this more than ilvl+achievment
And yes, if we get official parser, first we will see more kick. some are intended due to lack of gameplay level. some maybe abusiv.
but people have to learn to read parser, it is not just "hey, i did 1000 dps more than you" ... What many thought and always think
Kicking due to bad stats is thing that come fast = you watch, you see, you kick.
Getting better gameplay due to parser, it is longer. then, consider you need to improve, find the matters, try different things, again and again. Parser does not improve gameplay level and does not kick people, it shows statistics. kick a low DPS guy is a fast thing to do, improve yourself is much longer
But when i read you, i am right to consider you want no kick due to performance? If yes, this is the point that do we cant speak together. we dont have the same mind about the game.
