Just realized something: FFXIV is a terrible DPS player's DREAM come true...

[Bourne_Endeavor]

lol, nice ad hominem, I'll humor you. You have no idea how I play the game. I haven't even got into endgame Savage yet and no one has complained about my lack of doing rotations and in fact, people commend me because I actually seem to know what I'm doing, without a parser! Gasp unbelievable I know.

This isn't an argument. I've had Monks with sub-600 DPS and a Black Mage who couldn't break 500 yet thought they were good. The standards people have various substantially, and many players confuse healer or tank damage with what the actual DPS are doing. Regardless, no one really cares what you do in a dungeon. It's faceroll content you barely require a pulse for unless the tank mass pulls. Where people start to care is endgame content. Zurvan EX exposed the staggering amount of players who can't execute a basic opener. Skipping Soar should have been a cakewalk yet I went into parties where five or even six DPS couldn't manage to skip Demon's Claw, nevermind Soar. Parses wouldn't change anything except exposing lazy players who are content with allowing others to carry them. Toxic people will be toxic with or without the tool. They simply use ACT and kick bad players without saying a word. Take a look at PF. You see all those "bad DPS will be kicked," "Replacing people after multiple wipes." They all have parses going.

An official parse would help those who want to improve see where things aren't clicking without relying on third party programs. Provided SE enforced their policies, harassment would be handled the same way it is now.
