Why people still USE ACT knowing their breaking TOS ??

[JanVanding]

Yeah okay sure thing.

Go to any MMO forum, any where Parsers have been a topic, note how very quickly it turns toxic once parsers are implemented with people calling out others and dumpstering on them.

SE has that data fully available to them as MMO companies share that information.

You don't know better than them and judging by your choice of sarcastic one line response, you'd probably be one to be at the forefront of using it to shame people.

[JanVanding]

Name one. Name a single one where things turned toxic after implementation. Give me an example where it was the parser that made things toxic, given that it was the only change. Given: Implemented.

Also, please do remember that criticism based on poor performance isn't toxic by default. I look forward to your non-response or your hyperbolic lies, because the fact is simple: Toxicity was there before a parser was implemented. Being able to call someone out for not carrying their weight doesn't change that fact.

Rift. The parser was begged for, week one of implementation there were threads and threads of "dunking" and class exclusion.

And calling someone out is unnecessary, you can easily see who is not doing their job without a parser, you can quietly and calmly offer them advice and coaching without going "XYZ HAS A TERRIBLE PARSE EVERYONE KICK THEM"

It's a dead horse topic, Yoshi P said no, it's not going to happen. Let it go.

[JanVanding]

Yah? Because I played back then. One of the original from 2011. I can tell you, and everyone in this thread, that you're exaggerating to defend your "point." It took, what, a few days for the first one to start being developed? I remember the threads that came up. People for and against. It wasn't "toxic" at the time. You ARE aware that many of those threads are still available and archived, right? Either you're lying or you're jaded and misremembering. Either way, you're wrong.

And Yoshi said no so we should stop, huh? Like ARR flying? Like raid changes? Like crafting changes? Like a ton of QoL things that we were told no on and then later got? Yah. I think I'll continue advocating for an official parser for this game until it dies, because history tells me that enough demand will equate to resources being used in favor of my wants.

Yes you should because the case is one hundred percent closed on this. ARR flying wasn't no but maybe, QoL changes were when we have time.

He straight up and emphatically said "No" to the parser, SE adopted a "banned if caught using" stance

So let the topic go.

It won't happen as long as Yoshi P is FFXIV director.

Nope that ain't how it works. We're paying customers, too. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to "let it go" on this topic or any other.

"I want" never gets.

There's too strong a case against parsers and how they are often a tool used poorly, Square Enix will literally ban your account if you openly admit to using that tool.

That's as much "Not happening" as it's ever going to be.

I know you former game that shall not be named players want every game to be that game you left this one for, but it's not going to happen.

If you so desperately want that game, why not go back to it instead of trying to turn every other game into it?

Like you said, you're a paying customer right? You know what to do if you don't like their stance on parsers.

No, they'll ban you for harassing people with information obtained through parsing. The mere fact that threads and discussions on the topic such as this one exist and are allowed to continue openly on these forums demonstrates the point. As much as you'd like to think the discussion is over, it ain't.

Its why its "Don't ask, Don't tell" and the reason the topic is being discussed is because as we all know

Devs only read JP threads, they just eye roll and ignore these.

It's not the devs who ban people, it's the GMs. In this case it would be a forum moderator, these are not the same people actively working on the game.

GMs ban ingane yes, as do Moderators from the forums (who often work hand in glove with GMs), whom work in departments which are directed by Moderator and GM leads who take threads/Questions of interest to the Dev team

Guess what question never goes to the Dev team?

Bingo. Parsers.

Because it's not a question of interest as the Director said No.

Again if you pine so much for that other MMO, nobody is stopping you from playing it, nobody.

Just stop trying to make this game...that game.

I never even played that game, you're being a word I can't use here because it'll get me banned. You are being completely unreasonable and, frankly, a butt. You don't have the slightest idea WHAT gets passed on to the devs, if anything.
