Is Square losing Money due to 3rd party tool usage?

Can you imagine how many players would quit if that "FFlogs parsing game" would cease to exist? Tons of people literally live to achieve bragging rights with high percetiles.

good riddance, i used to be one of them in SB. but now all that's done is funnel the raid and job design meta into catering to them. everything is now max-melee-able, everything is 100% uptime. it's so boring. the stuff fflogs discord argues about all day and night is the real cancer of this game.

now people whine and scream if you have to drop a GCD and god forbid a fight has some weird phase push timing or randomness or the fflogs crowd will start screaming about how they have to jump if they don't see dadaluma or fire first.

we truly optimize our own fun away from ourselves. but the developers also should have the guts to ignore the whining from the fflogs crowd. parsing was way more fun when the fights didn't just hand you 100% uptime freely. now it's just a bunch of crit farm junkies.
