Survey: Community Opinions Regarding Parsing/Parsers in Final Fantasy XIV

[Vnolan]

Read the OP, but still don't get it.

There is a small number of people against parsing because 'it's not FF'. There is another small group that is against it because they don't want to have to put in any additional effort. There is a sizeable group that is concerned about it's abuse. The largest group is those in favor of it. Those concerned with abuse have valid arguments, but those aren't against parsing.

No one can comment while being indifferent. If they are indifferent, they don't parse. If they parsed, they would see what goes on and would in no way be against a tool that could alleviate such issues.

Parsing is one of the top two QoL changes requested, along with a Glamour overhaul, but it likely won't be added anytime soon. If they were to add it, they would have to eventually ban people that abused it enough times. The last thing SE wants to do is ban people. If SE had figures that the number of subs would skyrocket after adding parsing, they would add it without a second thought.

This is all common knowledge. No survey needed.

Please, if you have filled out this survey before, do not fill it out again. I am hoping to minimize the overlap from linking it both here and on FFXIV's subreddit.

I’m curious about the types of answers I would get out of it. Hence why I made it. It’s not made as a request to the developers to put a parser in the game or to not put it in the game, nor is it to try and prove any point. It’s just for my own curiosity. ^^
