Parsers add replayability for casual players

[Awha]

You're looking at this from the XIV viewpoint, where everyone can be all classes. Most MMOs lock you to one class. That's why alts are so popular in other MMOs. So class exclusion is a huge deal in other games because in most you either can't change your class or you have to pay to be able to do so. So suddenly you have a max level character who can't progress at all.

It's still an issue here in XIV because if you only have one class, now you can't progress until you level or pay to boost another.

Yes I am looking at it through FFXIV cause I really do not think it will be as doom and gloom as many make it out to be given the glass dynamic with their designe philosophy. Though even in other games I have raised in WoW as meme classes i have never faced exclusion to the point where I could not clear content or get groups. Sure it may be harder require greater effort on my part to prove my worth but I was able to find groups that did not mind.

As I said what is weird about it is the mindset will always exist with or without parsing so why fight it. Just avoid playing with those type of people it is not the end of the world.

This is genuinely why I tend to stick with PF. It's unlikely I'll find certain folks in my Extreme farms or Savage reclears. And since I'm maxed out on all my jobs, cap on tomestones via Extreme farms and finished my 2000 Mentor roulettes I only really ever roll the dice when I'm bored or when I want to do PvP. It's always nice to be around like-minded folk.
