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

[24spencer]

To conclude: it's not parsers who are destroying the game, but raiders, who try to push their perfectionism to players who don't ask for it and to content which don't calls for it.

there is a distinct difference between expecting people to perform 95%ile dps in a dungeon and expecting people to know how to at least keep their gcd rolling and read tooltips. It's one thing to sit in tank stance for an entire fight but to then use literally only your aggro combo and nothing else is just indefensibly lazy. Can people stop treating playing properly like it's some kind of horrible elitist unachievable thing?

Btw: Tanks have a DPS stance so they are not slowed down too much when soloing/playing through the story.

this is actually the worst take in the entire thread. pretty impressive considering you're competing for that spot against someone who claimed that reading guides is tantamount to datamining.
