I said it before, and I'll say it again: the community cannot be trusted to give and take criticism sensibly or respectfully, and this is why we don't have an official parser.

Unless we somehow prove to SE that the community as a whole is mature enough to not abuse the tool, I doubt we'll ever see any endorsement beyond the grey area of parsers also known as "don't ask, don't tell".
This is what I've been trying to get across but honestly, you're still gonna get people still asking or bring up anything they can to try to convince people we can play nice.

I too have nothing against parsing, in fact. I'm super competitive with my main job and without fflogs and in a sense parses.
I probably wouldn't always try to get better and better and become one of the best Samurai's.
It keeps me motivated.

But the way people come in here with their passive aggressive remarks in regards to lower skilled players just rubs me the wrong way, which is why I don't want official parses because I know how people can be when it comes to pulling low dps.
I use to be a ps4 player up until shadowbrings and I didn't need a parse to improve, what I used was just reading guides and tips from players better than me.
((though I'm a bit prideful and don't like to admit I need help at times)) But I push aside that pride-fullness to improve.
