Letter to MR Yoshi: Why parses system is destroying the ffxiv world.

Detrimental play doesn't always cause a wipe, everything is circumstantial.

...when you need to spend four hours farming a pop item for one chance at savage, and then you have people who wipe you? Detrimental. This? Wow, you lost thirty minutes and need to reform. Did you lose a level because you kept wiping in expert roulette, or does your tank have to quit because he died so much he literally can't afford the repair fees, or you lose millions of gil in consummables?

A lot of this stuff in the end is minor inconveniences compared to what it could be. You have people complaining people actually die in hard content or take 5-7 min longer in a roulette due to low dps. People clear content with 8 tanks on a whim. Raiders literally ad to made their own informal difficulty spike by fflogs rankings, because content in general can be completed relatively quickly, for its difficulty. I kind of wish sometimes they would give you all a taste of what really detrimental consequences would be some time, you'd probably sweat some of what people do here a lot less.
