It's official Parsers are illegal in FFXIV

[Fumijj_Gah]

This is the attitude that makes a lot of people dislike parsers on principle.

Like myself.

I know, lot of people don't like it. But game setting is similar to all the post-WoW MMORPG now, FFXI is a dream we never meet anymore, sadly. You can't put two feet into a single shoe. We have rotations now and we cannot ignore them.

If there's anything I'll never understand about XIV's playerbase, it's their illogical paranoia of parsers.

Wrong, it's obvious you never tried World of Warcraft the MMORPG Yoshi-P played to copy this setting, his words.
Parser (not official tool but allowed by Blizzard) is required in raid and people have really easy kick if you don't dps like a bat in the hell. Dps job on FFXIV is really too easy, people easily blame tanks and healers even when they don't deserve that.
