Parser, instead of a tool used for feedback, it becomes a weapon.
Since TBC to BFA in WoW, not even once where parser is being used for teaching purpose.
It is a tool for guild officers to weed out the less performers.
You are being delusional if you are saying otherwise.
I am in my WoW guild's officer chat
The individual who claiming "meter doesn't matter" in the gchat/vent/discord is the same person who is complaining about other's healing/dps is up to par.
YoshipP is/was a WoW players and of course he has witnessed these hypocrites.
People will not use parser as tool for improvement and merely use it as a tool for elimination
If FF14 already made their stance on parser, please don't try to sugarcoating to make parser looks so positive when it is actually not in reality
Yes, you can still use parser; but just be reminded that you are also vulnerable to violate TOS for account penalty.
There is no point to argue further.
Lot of people gonna strongly disagree with you. We aren't playing WoW and this isn't a WoW community, it's a FF14 community which has a pretty good reputation for being nicer, more welcoming, and helpful. No one is going argue that there aren't people who use parsers is negative ways but there most certainly is people who use parsers in a positive way to to see where they can improve themselves or help others improve. Parsing itself is neither positive or negative, it's just a tool, just like a hammer. You can improve stuff with it or you can bash people over the head with it.
