That’s literally the ffxiv forums except replace ‘Hitler’ with ‘grey parse logs’.

Seems a little petty to go out of your way to check out someone’s (illegally) obtained metrics solely to make the point that their parse is too low for their opinion to be valid. I mean, where do we draw the line? Should only 99-100% parse players be allowed to give their opinion now?
Actually lmao. Why should the opinion of someone who literally doesn't understand what they're talking about carry any weight? Disagree with whoever you want all you like, but if you disagree with people out of sheer ignorance then your opinion carries no weight. If you gray parse, its not because you're bad, it's because you don't know how the game works and therefore your ideas on how to fix a game's perceived issues don't matter. It's like asking someone who can't cook for a recipe. Sure they understand that adding heat to food cooks it but beyond that they just plain don't know. Sure they can tell something tastes bad but would they be able to make that dish better than someone who actually makes food regularly? Your response is the equivalent of "oh well should only Michelin star chefs should be able to write recipes?" obviously not. But i don't want a cookbook written by someone who doesn't have tastebuds either. There's clearly a middle ground.

As for "illegally obtained" I could just as easily look at their lodestone achievements and draw effectively the same conclusion.
