They get off on making baseless claims and anecdotal evidence into facts, saying things like "The game will implode with toxicity like the bubonic plague and destroy all we hold dear" if SE releases official parsers.


It's hard to take anything people that are antu-parser seriously anymore.
Yes, here say most likely from people who got to experience the toxic environments that Skada and Recount (parsers) brought with them during the heydays of WotLK (Wrath of the Lich King (WoW)) or some other game. You can hand wave peoples experiences as anecdotal evidence till you're blue in the face, but it does nothing to diminish their experiences and concerns of what parsers could potentially bring into XIV.

And seeing as Yoshi has expressed equal concern about parsers, I'd say he's all to familiar with the concerns that people keep bringing up; considering he himself has played WoW for some time, that you dismiss as anecdotal.
