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

[Yeol]

if anything, Gordias Savage should be the one pointed to as being at fault, since that was the raid tier that completely changed the raid scene as we know it, and where a lot of the current optimization playstyle choices were bred from.

YES.

Looking back at Gordias, it doesn't seem too bad since now we have Ultimate. Which by the way is on demand from top players who now understand the game much better than they did before.

The mentality of optimizing and keeping up-time is more common now than in the past. Some are moving forward and getting better at the game.

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.

Raider are the ones that give most to the community. They try to understand game mechanics and share it with the rest of us. Find the best openers/rotations and write guides about them. Also, they are willing to answer questions.

No one is asking you to play like top players. They just want you to know the basics and preform at an average level. What you see in DF/PF is way below average my friend.
