But hey, this is the era of the participation trophies.

No it's not supported because it leads to an abusive environment.

Parsing is helpful as well as toxic. If everyone rely on parses, no one would be doing the mechanics properly. Do you really want drama over
"Your parse suck" --> "Well I don't you killing plumes do I"
"Hahah I rule on titan" --> "Dude help break me out of the jail idiot"
" Where's my ballad" ---> "I was peoning myself"

It's just toxic, in general just like every tank out pulling each other in CT bone dragon, and no one doing the mechanics properly.

Stop with the epeen envy and beat the darn content.

How does every dps parse 200+ in Titan Ex but the jails are always late? Cause they're all busy parsing themselves.

This pretty much. If anyone harrasses you and causes you issues not to enjoy the game just report them. Especially this guy saying your doing bad dps out in the open. If he would of said it over TS or mumble its fine. He's basically screaming ban me.

Remember when video games used to be fun?

Using or talking about parsers themselves is not a bannable offense.
Using them as a tool for harassment is.

I parse, I openly talk about parsers with my own LS/FC mates but I never mention people's performance because people can see it as harassment.
No matter how friendly I try to bring it.

What if I told you that trying to be the best I can is part of what I percieve as having fun?

I can understand that. The quote I provided was an example of someone who sounded very much like not a fun a person.

Remember when people actually put forth effort instead of expecting everything to be handed to them?

Remember when improving your skills and challenging yourself was fun?

I sure did. I also remember whenever someone is complaining cynically it isn't fun.

When parsing fights, the numbers should be looked at when doing mechanics properly obviously...

Doing the best damage possible within proper mechanics, and being a moron are not the same thing.

You must of missed Yoshi talking about it.

FF14's stance on parser is, fight club rule.

If you want to test how ban-able it is, please be banned quickly.

IF enough of these threads go through they would have to start being active about it and ban everything related to parsing. Good Job for making that one step closer.
