Parsers add replayability for casual players

[Awha]

lol you would not have survived Aion Online. There is stuff we posted in those forums that prevents me from ever running for public office on how raw it was there. People who come here from WoW are used to parsers and barely understand how they contribute to heavily toxic environment.

No serious raider in FF14 wants casuals spamming the forums all day threatening to quit because their dps is trash and they want their job buffed.

That is the thing with the class dynamic in FFXIV and how encounters are designed having a weaker class per-se is not the end of the world if they maintain balance within their sub role especially with the removal of many of the specific class synergy.

Sure in Aion and other balance related class especially in games where someone cannot play every class on the same character and roughly no shared gear sets amongst sub groups it does create an environment that leads to much complaining about class balance.

Though I still say given the dynamic and game philosophy the devs have with class and encounter design it would not create some toxic black hole parsing has in other games. Sure it might foster an increased element of exclusion but I do not think it would be at the levels of other games.

I understand why you think you shouldn't get in trouble with HR for that, since you've mentioned in other threads you have anti-social personality disorder, but when you make jokes at others' expense at work you're creating a toxic work environment. They don't have to "not let it bother them", you need to not create that environment. It could also become a liability for the company if they don't do something about it.

I get that it largely a CYA thing with HR but that is my point people in power to do not make these choices as a means of protecting the individual or care about their workers. They only do it to cover their own bottom line.

To be personally doing a good for the wrong reason is worse then doing nothing at all. They do not care about the persons feelings they only care about how it makes the company feel.

I grew up being on the blunt end of every joke. I have dealt with vegan jokes, asd jokes, mixed race jokes, etc . . . Even in adulthood I still am on the receiving end of many jokes due to how I think and dress ( I straight up have multiplies of the same attire cause I rather not have to think about what I am going to wear. So same sets of suits ties etc. . . Yet idk I see no sense in getting offended or hurt by the words and actions of others. Sure a line has to be draw but that is my point people have that line placed so close to them which throws me for a loop cause many things people say today that people find offensive can easily be ignored if people so choose to. Though that is the problem people do not feel they should have to ignore it, that the behavior should not happen in the first place.

Though I think that goes against human nature as I said before humans are assholes, we will always have our bias and be riddled with judgements that influence our actions trying to fight this seems like a fruitless effort when I do think we would all be better off if we just accepted people are going to be assholes and some people may simply just not like another for many reasons some are good others not so much.

Though we cannot change that but what we can change is how we let such things effect us personally. Though I get many will say I am placing the burden of change on the victim. In short what I am trying to say humans are dicks so why try and fight it maybe we should embrace it and teach people how to protect themselves and not be bothered by hurtful speech. If someone tells you to kys because of how you play. The first response someone should have is not to cry and whine about it personally. The first thing to one should do is see why someone may say such a thing. Maybe you were playing poorly or something. If so if such comments bother you then try to improve to minimize the chance it happens again. If one has no desire to improve then being told hurtful things due to how you play should not have an impact cause end of none of it really matters.

General you. Though yeah I have my write ups for creating a toxic work environment for my team. Though honestly all the chases are rather tame. Not inviting someone out for sushi after work cause I personally could not stand them. Making jokes at the expense of myself yet others were offended. I once made an ASD joke due to me having one of my hyper focus moments next day was called in by HR. Overall what I am saying people should worry less about what others are saying and focus more on what they can do personally to not let it get to them.

Sorry rambled.
