Yeah I agree, I actually don't know if even SE is aware of how parse centric they have made their game. I mean, even if they don't admit it or even know thats what happened to them FFLOGS literally took over their game in some ways. Everything was sacrificed in the name of balance.

I think the solution to start tearing down the parsing chokehold on this game is making mechanics that force random players to separate tasks and or add small downtimes at random. Like stuns, weaknesses etc... Because this way no matter how good you are you won't score a good a parse as someone who got lucky and didn't have to do anything.

And ultimately people who are obsessed with parses are just trying to say they are better than everyone else and quite frankly if the whole game is going to be unfun because of that I do think it needs to change. I do like difficult stuff of course but making it so nothing interesting can happen because people need to be able to compete against each other "fairly" with a TOS banned plugin and an unofficial site is crazy.

This isn't even a pvp centric game for it to be revolving around that...
