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

[Azuri]

You have seen other MMO's? WoW perhaps?

Your answer is there. We already know because thats precisely what happens in other MMO's.

Let's imagine (we don't even have to imagine) that I have never ever played WoW and have zero idea how it works. Are you capable of giving me a direct answer to the question or not?

It was a straight answer, you're just being dishonest now. We know this is what would happen because past precident has demonstrated that this is what happens in other MMO's that allow open parsing.

Unless you're suggesting that XIV inherantly poops unicorns and rainbows so is immune to the toxic MMO culture that has fucked other MMO's over, then thats what would happen.

If you dont know about WoW, 5 minutes cringing on YouTube will be more than enough.

Ah, but it did in fact already happen in XIV. Parsing is direct and open in all but name. And you can still make a practice party in PF and fill it... How curious. Maybe some unicorns and rainbows are indeed involved.

Anyway, thank you for reinforcing my points. Our "worlds" are simply too different to ever cooperate productively, although they can co-exist. And it would simply be better for everybody involved if we had the ability to separate them.
