So this game has dps checks but we can't talk about our dps in game?

Why is "helping the group to complete the content" gatekeeping? It's not like gatekeeping based on age, race, or creed - anyone can put time into playing better.

It's not fair for a group to wipe over and over and waste time b/c players aren't willing to learn anything about playing their class well. FFXIV is deceptive in that a strong rotation isn't necessarily intuitive, and people can be playing badly without realizing it. If someone's not weaving oGCDs or whatever they're going to hurt the fun of the people they're partying with.

And I can counter argue that it isnt fair for people whom want to raid harder content for the sake of doing so but do to official parsing theyll get barred or bullied off a group due to toxic players using it to excuse that behavior. The minute that tool gets officially introduced I guarantee you that itll cause more problems than good. Weve seen this happen time and time again in other MMOs where the raiding scene just wanes due to toxicity. Already this entire thread is causing toxic barking from all of us. Im no saint either.
