Thank you Yoshi for your stance on DPS meters

[Angus-Beef]

I'll just post what I've posted in another thread about parsing,

The tool is never at fault because it can only tell facts, what you do with those facts is the issue, People NEED to be willing to improve within FFs community, removing or adding a meter will change nothing so long as this remains the issue.

I'll even elaborate further, due to the quote sounding a bit, harsh. In this game we have content that requires optimization, Ultimate, Savage, and even some EX fights require it, parsing and being able to see the numbers needed to kill the boss or get through X phase is helpful for people wanting to get through the fight over wiping a bunch of times to one dps or a bunch of dps not meeting a check, or a healer not meeting a heal check, or tanks not mitigating properly.

And while yes calling someone out is toxic, not knowing who exactly is under-performing will also lead to people equally being toxic and throwing around the blame over trying to figure out what to do better. This situation is a double edged sword, theres negative on both sides, there positives on both sides. But in the end we need to as a community learn how to help one another, parser or no parser, If you go into Eden 4 Savage Day 1 and have no Parser, then you need to know YOUR part, know YOUR rotation, know when to pop YOUR buffs. Until WE take responsibility as a community for OUR actions, and learn to play better, learn to be helpful, learn to NOT HARASS people, We will always have these issues.

In the end, I will end on this, Recount, Skada Damage Meter, Details, ACT, These are programs that only present FACTS, what you do with these FACTS, is the problem, not the program. We as a community need to learn how to NOT be harsh and mean to our fellow players.
