DPS who do 4k worth of damage = garbage tier

[RiyahArp]

Don't need to be in an FC when there's a discord full of people across all servers and data centers who are infinitely better equipped to help than an FC lead..

No, they aren't. Discord doesn't do anything compared to an actual connection with an actual player on your own server. If anything discords in general have a bad rep for being houses of drama, precisely because its just randoms with no real connection to keep them civil.

Besides which, there are plenty of raid-centric FCs...
...The parser matters a lot for calculating the best practical way to mix and match abilities, and carve forward a path for others to follow. It's an essential tool for number crunching a game so vague it doesn't even fully describe what half it's stats do.

There's already widespread parser availability if you do savage. Just ask the group. Making it official changes nothing, because no one is forced to use it. There's a small amount of ps4 players who can't, but if they care they ask friends who do. The raid fcs...eh, there really aren't. PF adverts tend to be single players advertising themselves for statics, not raid fcs recruiting players to teach them.

Then how am I supposed to view you, who are apparently too biased and angry at raiders to ever see another viewpoint? In a farm party is not the time to be learning your job. In a farm party is not the time to be learning the fight. In a farm party is not the place to expect to get tips on how to use a Summoner's pets. In a discord like the Balance, which is free and open for all to join, however, people are ready and willing to help at almost all hours of the day.

No, but the help stuff...look, very few people are honest about things, and when they ask for changes, if they aren't honest about what they want from them it will fail. If you think raiders are nice helpful people when the reality is they are nice up to the second run and kick after, you're not going to be able to ask for effective changes. You're going to be really disappointed when the official parser comes and you still get people doing 4k dps, because you really want people to git gud and they have to be forced to, not coaxed to.
