    That depends on the extent of it, or what is meant by "carry" or "weaker".

    For instance, are they truly "weaker" in some inherent/habitual sense, or just weaker in that particular fight because it's their first time? I have no issues carrying a player who is at least putting in the effort, or whose mistakes are fully understandable.

    I imagine there are ways by which the translated quote's intent could remain within what is reasonable. Do I suspect that was, in fact, the intent... Not so much, but I doubt he was giving full license to grab others by the heel and insist on a tow.

    The larger issue to me is that it slates any failure to learn or care to learn as solely a community problem, which just smacks of blaming your students for not understanding a poorly implemented lesson.

    "We won't be adding an official parser."

    "It will turn everything toxic, we won't implement one. EVER."
    To be fair, he also seems to have little idea what he's talking about it regard to parsers, given the plethora of MMOs in which they have become normal in play and have ultimately reduced toxicity -- in its various forms of blame-tossing, finger-pointing, near-immediate disbandment upon a single or second failed run, or kicks on basis of suspicion alone, etc.

    Why would you assume a whole community has less use for transparency or conveniently analyzable information? No. The JP side of things uses ACT plentifully, too. And, doubtless, FFlogs' analysis tools.
