Final Fantasy XIV and a Culture of Enabling

I wonder if fear of the playerbase finding out just how underperforming they are is an unstated reason why SE refuses to put any performance feedback system in the game? I wonder if they fear the beast that they have themselves made?

The reason they won't put parsers in the game is because they don't want people being bullied essentially (paraphrasing but this has been their stance since 2.0) - as has happened in other games that have parsers.

Their compromise was putting Sky, Sea, Land (or whatever the name is) in the game for people to work on those. It's not ideal, but better than nothing. Frankly I would like a personal parser in the game as I'm on console and I'd just like to have that info for myself so I can work on improving. But I don't need to see everyone else's parses. Parsing also isn't even necessary outside of Savage or Ultimates (and even then I'm not sure it's needed then - helpful sure - necessary? Idk).

LOL installing act was one of the best yet worst things I have could have done to improve my in game experience. Prior to that I had suspensions but having it just confirmed how meh people can be.

Nah, most likely it's just because most sane people would not lose their mind over something as trivial as playing DF content in 15 minutes instead of 12.

The HORROR! Oh the humanity!
