Thank you Yoshi for your stance on DPS meters

[Angus-Beef]

Separate comment: Honestly, how many people have run into toxic people you know were using a DPS parser? Forums acts like it's a widespread issue when it's not. Same with toxic mentors. Both are not a widespread issue in FF14. In other MMOs, sure, but not so much in FF14.

Honestly, I RARELY run into anyone talking about parsing in FFs community, I PF a lot in my spare time, I run dungeons, Its rare to see people talking about 3rd party anything........I think a lot of people on FF are a little too busy on twitter and the forums over the actual game itself. And even in the case you do meet someone outright breaking the ToS and admitting to it in game.......You can...report them? Like literally if they admit to Parsing you and calling to bad, they literally earned a 10 day, the GMs who deal with player Harassment respond in like 10-20 min max, and they investigate after you give your side of the situation, you can even provide pics.

Its a bit baffling to see people talk so much about toxic players, but as someone who prefers to report over argue, I know from experience that GMs are very quick to reply and fix any harassment based situation, from PF to Alliance raids, to roulettes. If you're not reporting an obvious jerk whos breaking ToS to shame you, you're part of this *massive* issue we're apparently dealing with.

And to the OP, You missed Yoshi Ps point, its not about Meters, its about cheaters, those who move markers with a program over learning how to do it manually, and those who give the proteans in TEA Telegraphs(they're not supposed to have any) Those are the people who hes speaking on, the Plug ins to ACT he doesnt agree with.

That being said, the average player who cares about improving ones self doesn't speak on their parser.

All in All, if YOU(the people who will read this) have a problem with people parsing/not parsing, make your own FC/LS/Community/Discord server with people who have similar mindsets and keep it to yourself. Does that solve the problem now?
