Built-in Parsers

"Oh stop with the victim attitude. Parsers are completely fine and never cause any issues ever except every MMO ever who fully allowed it proving otherwise"

- Typical Pro Parser argument

well when someone ask for a personal parse for themselves then what would be the argument for the otherside exactly?

I would have no problem at all with personal parsers. The problem is when people use parsers to monitor other people's dps in order to judge them. Please don't try to tell me this doesn't happen as we both know it does. I'm glad FFXIV doesn't allow it as I hate to see people fight and be mean to each other. Not having a parser is just one less thing to use to bully others.

That said, I still would have no problem with a personal parser. I tend to use the striking dummies to see how i'm doing with my rotations and what I can do to add dps. It's not perfect, but it's there. I would even use a personal parser as long as it's just my own dps or healing that I'm seeing. There's no reason to see other's.
