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

. If you're not going to give players an accurate way to measure their progress and dps, how do you expect them to improve or know when theyre doing something wrong

This has to be the fourth or fifth time I have said this but: You ARE permitted ( grey area here ) to use it FOR YOURSELF. YOU HAVE a method you CAN use it to improve yourself

If you are running a parser to help your own improvement, grats, well done, more power to you. Have fun.

What you are NOT allowed to do is to use it as a blunt instrument to scream abuse, epithets, obscenities and harass OTHER players.

Why people wont accept it is most likely because people want to improve yet arent really given any accurate tools to do so in game.

Parsers have a long and storied history of flagrant abuse and misuse. Yoshi and his team DO NOT want to see that toxicity in FF 14. Neither do I ...having had a gutful of that back in another MMO. Their policy is clear cut, specific and has valid reasoning behind it. I agree with that policy 100%.

You DO have a tool to measure your own performance. You do NOT have the right or license or permission to use said tool to "correct others" or " to educate them". If they wish help, they will come to you, or to others.

To quote the revered Mother of Many "Tell thy sister , go chase her fish and I will chase mine"

Use it to your hearts content but LEAVE OTHER PLAYERS ALONE. It cant be any clearer than that.
