And it's illogical. The site clearly marks who got externals right next to the ranks themselves. So you effectively tell us that you rely on people who don't know how the site works to show off skill to them.

No. People should learn how the logs work and figure out themselves if someone got externals. Why ruin the game because some people want to show off skill to people who don't know how to read logs?

Fun is subjective. Not everyone thinks raiding is only a dps meter. Some people use raiding as a playground of improving their social skills in a team and not being annoyed that someone got an external instead of you is part of improving that skill.

It's very common. But it's obviously neither the realm of the top 10 or the most casual. It's generally people that have cleared 10/10m by now and their skill in the game is limited to doing an encounter well (because obviously their social skills are lacking if they find an external cooldown "socially tense" between their own guild "mates").
