And, again, it doesn't take into consideration things like party buffs. So the number is inaccurate.

SSS is not a satisfactory measurement of your performance.
Playing devils advocate here... but in regards to FFXIV this is actually a player imposed term of acceptability. SSS is the marker to whether you are capable of outputting the required dps.

Personally I don’t care whether someone parses or not assuming it’s for their own info or a static where everyone is working to better themselves, but in a pug that info is often used to insult not teach so I dislike them then. I do care about mods/Addons/programs that tell to react. Those are bogus and a crutch imo. Ultimately, whether you like to parse or not is irrelevant. FFXIV tos specifically states no 3rd party programs. Get caught using one well you accept the consequences.
