    Does WoW even have a built in parser nowadays?...
    Because it didn't back when I played it was just a mod you manually had to download.

    Otherwise I dunno why some people are arguing like this is some fault on the side of the FFXIV devs, because as far as I know having an official parse is not the standard to begin with in MMO's.

Sure it sucked at first to have the rug pulled out from under you, but you just have to break it out and keep grinding. Eventually you get decent and even good. I was glad I was told I was a baddie because it motivated me into becoming at least an average player. Accept the only argument about parsers are based on feelings, nothing wrong with bending the knee.
    I don't think that anyone is arguing that it's not about feelings, but it's also about how those feelings affect people and plays into a lot of toxicity and the community.
    Like for examples as I've mentioned, it's not just about people not wanting to be told that they're bellow average or whatever it's also people with insane egos and just general douchebaggery.
    Just because you liked being told that you suck doesn't mean that everyone does or even cares, and those people aren't really going to get into the harder content to begin with.
    I doubt they even have the motivation to even try they just want to play it casually and there's nothing wrong with that.
    You can't just project your own experience unto everyone else.

    '' Feelings '' isn't an invalid argument, a lot of game design is about feelings.
    You kinda just ignored a lot of what Penthea said too.
    It's pretty ridiculous to judge someone entirely based off of one instance of seeing how they perform.
    Someone can be way better than you but fail for a whole lot of different reasons, and then you end up giving them shit and acting like they don't know how to play because '' the chart says ''.

    I think that to judge someone as a player you kinda need more to go on and it's a bit silly to just expect that everyone is going to always perform at a level that is reflective of the whole.
    People aren't perfect machines that all perform at a specific level at all times.
