Built-in Parsers

[xJimmehx]

I honestly don't understand the naoki yoshida mindset. The man must be from mars or something. (seriously, i wonder what he's thinking) We have parsers, with or without his consent, on pc. It isn't something he can control and they basically allow it as long as you don't talk about it or harass others. Why wouldn't it be better to allow console players to do it too? Especially if they keep the "no harassment" stance.

It's currently both a way for the pc players who "want" to abuse others with it to abuse it AND a way for more kind pc players to have an advantage over anyone on console. It's twice as bad.
Console and pc players alike are getting kicked because of it AND console players cant use it, when we pc players can.

....

Is it really this complicated?

Hell, People can kick you for having a "gay looking glamour", dying once or even for being a cat boy(so long as they label it differing play styles). Why don't they just idk...actually moderate the game? Pvp is full of bots and hacking. Gil bots teleport hack 24/7. Feast chat was completely removed. You know youre greedy when you start removing the components that make up a game just so you don't have to spend a tiny fraction of your million(plus some change) monthly subs to hire people that moderate and enforce the tos and general behavioral policies.

You know youre greedy when you start removing the components that make up a game just so you don't have to spend a tiny fraction of your million(plus some change) monthly subs to hire people that moderate and enforce the tos and general behavioral policies.

The problem with this mindset is the millions of subs aren't paying for QOL improvements in the game - a fraction of them are. The lion's share of sub money is going toward making stupid junk like FFXV VR Fishing -- cause the Fishing in FFXV was so good that they needed to jump on the VR bandwagon with it. You can't think that our money only goes to improving our lives in FFXIV. It's like thinking all your taxes are there to improve your life personally. It goes to the whole company (or government in my analogy) and gets appropriated as they see fit.
