Not having an official parser is only increasing the discrepancy between PC and console players.
But the truth of the matter is PC players took it upon themselves to use parsers and determine what threshold means you’re a good player or not. The game itself isn’t designed to factor that in. If you know mechanics, aren’t wiping and clearing the content, the game rewards you for that. No by analyzing parsing numbers. Also, most players truly don’t give AF.

I play for the story and gathering and crafting. I judge my abilities based on not dying, knowing mechanics and clearing whatever it is I’m doing. Just because someone isn’t doing the numbers an outside program seems decent means nothing in the end because FF14 doesn’t account for it. So parsing PC players can scream until they’re blue in the face.
