Because this is exactly how it starts, oh I just want to help give friendly advice, then it turns sour given by those who want to use the information just to beat it over someone else's head. Yes there are those people. It's not anyone else's job to monitor what I or any other player is doing unless you agree to it in advance. I think the developers are smart enough to know there are people out there who are just nasty and would use information to beat up other players. After 8 years I doubt there will be a change in their stance or SE policy. Beating a dead horse here.
I have a feeling you don't really do any of the content this thread is primarily about, and are under the misapprehension that people are looking for a license to harass others in roulette content.

Most people here are primarily talking about content that contains a "hard enrage", which requires a fixed minimum amount of DPS to either defeat the boss or progress to the next phase. In content like this, it's entirely possible for a single unprepared person to fully obstruct the progress of 7 other people. Being able to identify where that problem lies is vital to the defense of your own time and energy. It's not fair to expect 7 people to simply remain in an impossible situation on behalf of someone who is inadequately prepared for content they've voluntarily joined.
