This thread is living proof that parsing has become a cancer that’s progressively getting worse as the practice becomes more widely accepted. And part of this is the passive-aggressiveness that comes from the community because parsing is banned. Either ban it entirely or accept it officially and let us become competitive like WoW. Having this grey-area cop out isn’t working anymore.

Sadly, I know FFXIV is on the wane and devs don’t want to put too much effort into a title that’s on its way out, but *anything* would be better than this.
