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

[Vstarstruck]

I apologise in advance Hyomin =/




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 'stone' that they threw.

Wow it is common then again any kind of harassment is common in wow, as well as going to further drastic measures then this game. My only point is for this game specifically, if parser harassment exists when it is a ToS violation, it will only increase if a public one is made. Parser harassment is a lot rarer in this game and ofc it is likely SE's stance on it. As I said though, it is only bound to get worse with a public one, and I think they are scared of GM call volume on that and if they can handle it.
