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

[Vstarstruck]

Of course I can evaluate parser culture. I've been a better part of it in over a decade of MMO gaming across half a dozen MMO's with bothhidden and public parsing.

I'm ALL for you and anyone else refuting my specific examples as to how I arrived at my conclusions. I welcome that as it's what generates healthy discussion, but I fail to see how my previous experience disqualifies my viewpoint on the topic.

I think you/Starstruck somehow missed my point. It could likely be fault for not being clear enough so let me restate it:

I like being able to pick and choose people of MY skill to play with. That doesn't mean I'm good or bad. It merely means I like playing with like minded players. People with the SAME goal. It means if I am a bad player, I like playing with other bad players. We can all struggle and overcome the obstacle together. If I am a decent player it means I can group with other decent players I can count on and learn with/from. If I am an elite player, I play with other elites so I can push the envelope of my respective job/environment.

Still proving my point. It limits your experience to the full player base. You do not know how widespread parser harassment is, why are you even posting here on this issue? parser harassment is common, PERIOD. FFXIV is an exception because of SE's strong stance and even WITH THAT, parser harassment still happens, and the funny thing is, you still did not comment on that fact.

So because of it EXISITING TODAY while being against the ToS, it will ONLY increase with a public one, its simple logic. The oonly one is not understanding is you, not us.

Saying "parsers create more toxicitity" vs. saying "I think parsers create more toxicity, because xyz". One of these opens up discussion and lends credence to the poster, the other one IMO tends to be inflammatory because it comes off as stated as fact with absolutely no insight/evidence to substantiate it.

Then stop passing your opinion as fact?
