Would you like an in-game parser?

[HyoMinPark]

Also if I were not doing my job in game, I would want to be told (preferably nicely). I always welcome tips. I try to always do the best I can in whatever job I'm playing. I played FFXI for over 7 years where you'd get kicked from a party if you so much as showed up with less than +1 gear in every slot, let alone slack off. I spent years doing Dynamis, Sky, Sea, etc. And I've never needed a parser to tell me if I'm doing well. If you need one, get act or whatever program and go nuts with yourself.

Objectively speaking, how do you know if you are doing as well as you think you are doing without a tool that shows you hard numbers? Unless you are referring to other aspects of your job, like utility aspects. Serious question here, because I am curious.

Really I don't care if you all argue till the end of time on this parser thing. SE has made it abundantly clear that it will not happen. I was just pointing out that you are proving their point in not adding it. You are all so quick to jump about nothing. Well have fun for another 47 pages and see where that gets you.

SE also said that tanks would never be able to block magic damage, that housing would remain FC only, and that said housing would never have a feature implemented like the auto-demolition timer. What SE says is not necessarily law; they’ve been known to say things one Live Letter, and then a few patches or even an expansion later, go back on what they said because of community demands.

All this being said, you aren’t really doing yourself any favors by continuing to pop back into this thread to bicker with us. If this is all so “pointless”, then why do you keep coming back to the thread? Or are you just looking to get in a “last word”, if you will?

Nice stealth edit about the “trust” thing, by the way.

No stealth needed, you all just jumped right in while I was still editing to add what I wanted to say. Anyhow, carry on.

You seem to have a tendency of dropping back behind "That's not what I said" and "You just didn't get the point." If this happens often, maybe it's on you for not clarifying your meaning. Maybe it would be better to have your thoughts in their entirety written down before posting partials; if you did that, then you wouldn't have people "jumping right in while you're still editing". Especially when you edit to change fundamental points presented in the post, such as "I didn't use the word trust".

You added more to your post but took out the line about trust after you were called out on it.

I’m still waiting for an answer to my question, though.
