Is there any situation in which it may be justified to tell a player to permaquit FFXIV?

On the opposite side, as the player being told this, would it be something to consider if somebody approached you outside of, say, an instance or maybe even outside the game, and said this to you. Just curious.
Have you ever stopped and considered that you might be the antagonist? You've posted over a dozen threads with the same kind of antagonistic language, which all point to attention seeking (there is even a psychological name for this "Histrionic personality disorder") from the raiders.

I don't argue against parsers without reason, and this is specifically the kind of reason why parsers are bad. Until such time the developers of such tools implement a way to specifically opt-in through consent, instead of "opt-out" to being parsed, this kind of drama will continue. It only takes one person using it as bludgeon to make players upset. Upset the wrong person, and that person will be out for blood.

Whatever you did, certainly didn't justify deleting your character, and I assume that earlier instance of your avatar going missing was likely related. If players in the game do not want to be friends with you, then they are under no obligation to do so. If the people on the forum are telling you to stop being destructive to yourself, then they are not doing that out of malice. Any of the armchair psychologists on the forum can see that the game is causing you some kind of mental anguish, so if you think you need to leave the game, just take a break. Contrary to what some raiders seem to think, the game is not a git-gud competition. Either you're having fun, or you're not.

You are not chained to the game. If the game is making you have destructive thoughts, please see an actual professional, and don't use the forums/discord/reddit/etc as a way to gauge your mental health. Social media is bad for your mental health.
