Yoshi-P "definitive" answer on third party tools from today's 14 hour stream

[Tiramu]

All I am saying is that the current system can and should just move from the weird gray area and be accepted as an objective reality. There should be nothing wrong with looking at someones logs and concluding that you would rather not play with them. For whatever reason. No matter how much Yoshi wants it, he shouldn't dicatate who we party with.

You can use FC's and statics for curating players. What you suggest would gatekeep party finder that locks high end content out only for the most elite players, and shuts the door on casuals, semi-casuals, those who cant invest their lives into a game like many elite raiders want, and leads to outright toxicity and grown adults acting like children.

If you want that as the standard then fine, there are lots of MMO's that are like that, and as we see from WoW the end result of that is harmful both to players and the game itself.

I mean, look at your reply to me. Because I dont like that FFLogs collects data without consent and would prefer XIV to be a game where casuals and hardcore players can find value, you assume Im some toxic casual who wants to piss all over elite raiders. Which is one hell of a jump missing this huge middleground in between.

What I see from your argument is wanting to take the whole cake for yourself and gatekeep all high end content; which is exactly what would happen if PF were to require parse results.
