Parsers add replayability for casual players

[Puremallace]

IF Square Enix EVER EVER listened to this guy and made parses widely available I would quit tomorrow along with 3/4 of the rest of the community. For some reason you guys think this is our first MMO or something. I have been playing these things longer then some of you have been alive.

Every single MMO that has widely accepted parses has had a toxic community. Every single one. The only places we know they are all used is in Ultimate content where DPS checks matter in a big way. Outside of that it is pure toxicity because casuals start to use them to hate on other casuals and start excluding jobs for 0.0001% difference in dps output.

I trust some elite prick to understand that minor difference does not matter unless on bleeding edge content but give a casual a dps meter and they will destroy an MMO. Once those casuals start getting excluded from content or called pieces of crap they come to the forums and start screaming for buffs or unsubbing then when the developer caves the next job wants a buff as they are now 0.00001% bad and when they do not get it those people are now excluded so they unsub.

Swear to god I cannot put into words how many times I have seen this viscous cycle play out.
