    Not that there's any way to be less lenient of parsing short of "anti-cheat" bloatware that probably still wouldn't prevent it, so long as the grey area exists, it's safest for someone not parsing to assume that others are; its grey status merely prevents them the courtesy talking to you or helping you through a shortfall, replacing that chance instead with simply kicking and blocking you from what content in which any such shortfall would matter, as not to risk the report. Any and every reason for a kick is valid under the equally "claim a mile to deal with an inch" category of "Difference in playstyle" after all.

    Even that, though, is better than being kicked and blocked by someone without a parser on the uninformed suspicion of gross underpreparedness/underperformance would matter. Let's say the group's already wiped thrice to the enrage even with minimal deaths and the group leader, perhaps rightly, is on the look out for a cause since nothing's just sorting itself out naturally. Accidentally did your Chaos Thrust combo twice in a row, all of once, and they saw it and it stuck in their mind? Was your one time getting clipped by an AoE the mistake they noticed, even if you made fewer overall than anyone else? Even if you're still more than pulling your weight, that may be the end of you. I'd far rather my fate lie with what actually happened than from poorly (in)formed conclusions.
