Parsers

[Mardel]

Ok Ok how about I start every party and every thread on here by saying "HEYA ASSHOLES" because I think that's polite.

Whilst we have different backgrounds and cultures, we all have a very similar idea of being polite. we all know what can offend people in the current context. Would you walk up to anyone in the world, and say (in their language) "YOU SUCK FOR (insert random reason for sucking here)"

Well the first part is blowing it out of proportion. However, I don't think everyone should be forced to be polite. Though I rarely do anything with pugs, outside selling them extreme clears, I typically will not say much in a random party except when I see something is going wrong.If the person didn't say they were new or learning I'll be like, "Let's pick up the DPS." or "RandomMNK you having some problems or something?" I do understand for melee learning a boss' rotation can hamper your dps, but hey if you are unfamiliar with something and don't want people to be rude; come out and say "I'm not very familiar with the fight but I'll do my best."

TLDR: If you expect people to be polite then be upfront about familiarity with the fight.

Regardless of needing add-ons. literally 60% (Thats me being generous) of the player base is well... bad at this game. Add-ons will help keep track of things easier and weed out the bads.

I don't want to weed out bads though! They provide me with gil for content clears!

Time to sell Leviathan EX runs in 2.2!

I honestly can't wait for the add-on support that we were promised years back. So I can finally show everyone how bad they really are at this game.

Implies people are bad. Needs add-ons

Back on topic. The only time it is appropriate to tell someone ELSE what they are parsing is when they ask. It isn't your job to micromanage someone elses play. If you set up a group, you are free to manage that group how you see fit as long as parameters are set in place first (ie every PF group). If you do it in DF, you're just a twat.

Try 80% of the player base are bad, and that's from the DPS group alone. Sadly, that's being real.

Show me the actual census data to back that up if you want to be taken seriously. Otherwise, keep that crazy talk to yourself.

The replies of some in this thread are EXACTLY why SE shouldn't want a parser anywhere near this game. And no, desiring civility in an MMO isn't anything close to a "Care Bear" attitude (what is with this pseudo-masculine mindset, anyway?). It's called being a civilized human being instead of fraternity-style meathead.

You do know 80% of "facts" are completely made up don't you?

[Tashigi]

Okay, since logic isn't working, let me give you an example.
If I was in your place, I would have simply either stepped out, studied the encounter and my class better and tried to improve.
Or I would have asked the person if they had any hints/tips.

See how different it would have been, instead of blaming a parser?

People still do Moogle?

[Odett]

It's been nerfed to hell, part of the story, and the easiest place to grab the strongest (Titan HM excluded) weapon you can get pre-relic, so yeah, people still do Moogle.
