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

Additionally, what defines "roasting"? Because I have seen plenty of people claim harassment when someone simply calls out their poor performance. If parsers were legal and I point out the BLM is only doing 3k DPS. That isn't harassment. Of course, the devs seem keen on trying push us to carry players like that.

Well that's the key, isn't it?

The current shadowban on parsing does absolutely nothing to combat harrassment in the same way that a lift of that ban would do nothing to encourage harrassment.

If you decriminalize "hey blm, you're barely breaking 3k - you good? We're gonna hit a wall soon if you can't get it together" you don't have to also accept things like insults, threats, stalking bad dps after the fact... those two things are different.

Sadly, for every player crying harassment at being told their performance is poor. I wager more than double would be caught entirely unaware and either seek to himself on their own or ask what they're doing wrong. The amount of people I've come across completely dumbfounded their damage was so low is staggering.
