Nearly 20 years of WoW and the negative effects parsing has had on the game is more than enough evidence of why parsing should be treated the way it is in FFXIV which is essentially keep it to yourself.Quote:

I've seen the negative effects of nearly 10 years of FFXIV's policies on third party tools. The sheer level of eggshells you end up needing to walk on when around people in DF and PF, providing feedback being as complex as lategame jenga lest someone take offence...
People are so afraid of being, and so guarded against toxicity that it has bred a toxicity all its own. -
10-06-2022, 07:41 AMRansuNow that's a lie lol. You can spend 5 seconds on google and find pages upon pages of problems people have with parsing in WoW on the WoW forums. Its the very reason Yoshi-P has stated what he did during the live letter because he's also seen the level of negativity from parsing. The negatives FAR outweigh the positives and in FFXIV you really truly do not need to know your dps numbers to clear content.Quote:

Otherwise have at it with the said program on PC and keep it to yourself. Its perfectly fine that way. You can have your parse numbers and you can't harass others with it. -

And it's basically people whinging that they were found to be sandbugging or holding a group back. You know, leeches. And who cares what leeches have to say? -
10-06-2022, 09:53 AMRansuBecause its usually not. Its usually people doing appropriate dps for that level, but because they are not uber geared and doing super dps that is commonly get kicked out even though their dps is appropriate for the dungeons level and gear level. I GUARANTEE if this game ever got a built in parser parties would be singling out blue parsers which isn't eve a bad parse, but because people are people they will want uber elite numbers and ask for purple parses that they probably don't even have.Quote:

Has any new information been posted in this thread? It seems to be largely of a repeat of previous "yoshi-p is wrong/right about dps meters" discussions.
Pretty much a FAQ entry at this point.
Creating more threads seems unlikely to change the situation in any way -
10-06-2022, 12:48 PMFireMageWould only be a thing for high parse groups. And none of that is remotely toxicQuote:
