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

[Sebazy]

I apologise in advance Hyomin =/

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.

Then stop passing your opinion as fact?

Don't you see the irony in what you are saying?

Claiming that parser harassment is common is a HUGE claim, I'd put that in 72pt bold if I could. Yet you have nothing to back it up, nor does your profile indicate any real experience within this game. Do your viewpoint a favour and show us why we should believe your opinion over Kaldea's. If parser harassment really was common, these forums would be awash with screen caps of it. Now I dunno if you've noticed, but uh, that's not the case, certainly not as far as I can see.

The most concrete example you see on these boards is the is the oft mentioned JP niconico stream, yet the parser abuse was only part of the picture and frankly, even if they hadn't have had that tool at their disposal they would have moved straight onto the sexist drivel and straight up trolling etc. They went in to that situation with the intent to hurl abuse at her long before any parser numbers started flashing up on screen. It just happened to be the first of many 'stones' that they threw.

They even started standardizing and reusing earlier mechanics from past endgame, in order to enable players to eyeball and predict them. The big difference is that its easier overall, and people only adapted because they nerfed the heck out of HW to bring it down to a much more palatable level.

You realise that Savage has been watered down over time to make it appeal more to the casual scene right? Show me someone who claims to be a 'raider' yet whined about the difficulty of T9 or A8S and I'll show you a wannabe that's too big for their boots.

Whenever they make it hard again, grats less than 1% of the playerbase clears, i.e Super Savage.

Super Savage is a double whammy of high difficulty and an exceptionally long sequence of mechanics to learn and remember. Many groups simply aren't willing to put in the time needed as a whole unfortunately. Consider trying your hand at it and perhaps you'll appreciate why 1% of the player base has cleared it, I've pugged to Bahamut and since I apparently can't react to things, you should have no problems right?

I don't think they'd adapt as easy as people think, and for people who talk so much about unskilled players, they forget how much raiding was nerfed to keep people even doing it, and how easy SE can just break 90% of raiders through difficulty in content.

A opinion clearly built on an irrational hatred for 'raiders' and everything that entails.

How dare you brand us as being toxic when this is how you behave.

Whoa, this thread heated up. Let's be respectful, folks.

Demonizing the individuals on the other side of the topic just makes you look foolish.

Even if you don't agree with something, it's always better to be rational, realistic and well grounded in how you go about debating against something. I'm old, grouchy and highly opinionated but I also know that I'll do a much better job of putting my point across if I base it around clear and concise facts rather than just stating 'h8 u all' and leaving it at that
