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

[MrKusakabe]

Not everyone is you. And a LOT of end game players enjoy pushing themselves to their mathematical peak in terms of performance. Parsers are a great tool to aid in this purpose, and to deny them because you don't want to because of... your job? is really selfish of you.

So it is of them. Pushing "themselves to their mathematical peak in terms of performance" is selfish of them, too.
As you can see, you can turn that argument around.

I told you already things are being finished, no unnecessary wipes. But seeing other people want to push me in their "mathematical peak in terms of performance" is not right either.

I've read earlier: "Then make your own parties". Yes, these people like you mention can do that as well. Not using parsers on a random pug and then "Oh, you did this and that 0.05% differently, OMG usobad".

That's like running a marathon and then saying: "Oh, you took that curve in the wrong way. Now you took 2.6 seconds longer". That is ruining the fun being feared random people watch the parsers more than the actual gameplay and/or the outcome.
If you have a profession that is demanding in real life, you will realize this is a video game and thus a leisure time. All of you should keep that in mind.

Regardless, the only time in my ~5 years of playing the game that I have seen arguments over parses is when DPS checks are not being met because of someone pulling massively subpar DPS. That is not a first world problem, that is 7 players not being able to progress because one person sucks and is not pulling their weight. If that person is you and you are upset because people are telling you that a parser says your damage sucks, then my only advice is to ask "How do I improve so we can beat this fight?". Don't come to the forums crying that parsers are evil, because you might as well say that calculators are evil because they do maths for us, or that macros are evil because they execute commands for us.

Did you even read and comprehend? Wiping all over because of one guy does not require a parser, being SUCH a bad player can simply be seen with bare eyes then. How often do you see these players? And how often it is being used for harrasment or blaming/scapegoating. I also told that I am either agreeing that I am bad and try to get better or we do get trough the content. Nobody ever did I mention I am a slacker and refuse to belive that.

That calculator example I don't get, but you are just grabbing for a straw then. Also, I never cried about "evil parsers", I mention that people - you apparently - love to harrass others because they are not good in a video game. That is awful and kind of disgusting, Sir. I also explained you why. But I guess I gotcha there... *shrug*

To use the words from page 1, a massively upvoted post: "Go make your own group". There you can cause drama because Player 4 did not perform as good as you wished. Even though you might've gotten trough that duty easily, but man, those parser numbers...!!! /s
