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

What you need is a striking dummy with a timer, SSS is exactly that. And before anyone says they don't want to,
who in their right minds don't have a rotation coming into fights? That's not the game's fault, that's on you.

Did....did you even read what I said? This reply you wrote has nothing to do with what I explained to you.

You said 'a parser is never for personal use and that you always have to compare with other players'.

So I showed you how you can use a parser for personal use and that you don't need to compare yourself to others to use it to see if you are improving because you can compare it to yourself and past data to see increases.

That was my only point.

You made an incorrect statement. I corrected said statement. SSS had nothing to do with our exchange.

I don't see any point in continuing to discuss with you since I feel you ignored what I said anyway. So I am done with this.

If people act like this with it not allowed, how you think people will act with it allowed?

I already said I am neutral in this argument. I may post to explain objective things or to tell people not to make generalizations, but as for my own opinions I personally don't care if they add an official parser or not so there is kind of no point in trying to discuss that part of it with me.

The only thing I can say is human beings aren't fortune tellers. We can't say one way or the other if the game would turn out worse, better, or end up exactly the same as now with an official parser. We simply do not know unless they add one so doing guesswork or pretending we know how people will behave is pointless.

Before people say "...but WoW...".

Comparing this community to other MMO communities is also pointless because this community is not the same as other ones and vice versa so you cannot use another game to predict behavior in this one unless you did a very comprehensive study on the types of people playing both games, but no one has the resources or time to do such a study. The most we can do is "an educated guess" which is still nowhere near a conclusion based on fact.

I've personally never seen anyone harass anyone else in-game with a parser in my whole 4 years of my continued subscription to this game. I am a very active player and I do a lot of content and a lot of PF/DF. If it was such a frequent occurrence I feel like I definitely should have seen it at least once in 4 years. /shrug

All those people you mentioned if they harassed someone with parser then you report them and move on just as you would do with someone who harassed someone even without it being parser related. In my opinion those types of rude players would have been rude even without a parser anyway. A simple tool doesn't magically turn you into a rude person when you normally would not have been.
