Parsers

[Tashigi]

How about no and instead you follow Doo's advise up above?
We were promised addon support long ago and it's still coming; so why not try and adapt to it, instead of trying to get everyone else to adapt to you?
I get that you want people to be nicer, (This isn't about parsers, that much is obvious to anyone who is seeing this clearly) but you have to be realistic. You're playing an online video game, with thousands of different people, from different backgrounds, different cultures, different approaches at life. You can't honestly hope to change all that and somehow adapt them to whatever imagine you have in your head.

This is why, if you scroll down to that "Rated T for Teen" icon, states "Online interactions not rated by the ESRB".
Because realistically, you can't rate that.

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)"

In all other MMOs I have played people don't say anything like "YOU SUCK", It's more like "Delsus your dps is lower than expected can you look at your rotations" Or "Delsus your gear isn't as good as it could be, you will perform much better if you get xxx gear." ARR might have been good for FFXIV in general (which I agree with) but we have gained a very toxic community as a downside.

[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?

Implies people are bad. Needs add-ons

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.

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!

Lol ya. Gotta get gear first though so the backs don't break. Maybe if we are lucky we cam carry 2 people like on titan ex.

[Forerunner]

Delbutt, you don't have me to carry you through content anymore.

Did this really need a whole thread of "QQ someone called me bad"?

Man up, move on.

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.
