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

[MrKusakabe]

I am being a department manager or head of department (or whatever you wanna call it), and I have basically spreadsheetss, limits, ratings, rankings every day at work. Basically a real-life parser about my and my collegues performance. And I have to think about them evey single day.

I wold never ever use these in a video game. It's my leisure time. If I get the stuff done, everyone else should shut up. Period. I've been flamed for like 30 seconds longer dungeon runs.

Often I feel unemployed over over eagerly addicted speedrun people use these to cause flames and madness and show their pro-ness.
Just like you guys like your rankings and whatnot, I do not. This is not my job.

We get the stuff done, I do not shake my balls while you pull your weight, just to get that straight. I am not one of these "freestyle" guys that make you lose because of DPS checks or something. I know how to adapt - to an extend, enough to not being dead weight.
But I also do not want to have fights over a bit less damage just because you got nothing else to do in your real life that fills you out so you gotta call on people for not doing this or that in a video game.
Then you come up with "diss iss multiplayeur game" and want to kick people, but indeed, it is not just about you (parser users). The argument can go both directions.
