SE, can you please make a definitive statement on your stance on parsers?

I know endgame players that use pc with controllers and endgame ps4 users. The limitation is artificially designed by players. The idea the "the best players use pc" is shortsighted and foolish. The only issue ive seen is video lag in Titan Ex with PS3.

It seems to me that you aren't doing anything to inhibit pc players from using parsers while at the same time refusing to put a damage meter in the game for PS4 players.

Square-Enix didn't do this so if you have issues go and take it up with the modding community and they'll tell you exactly why there's no "parser" addon for PS4 players. For PS3 players however...

As a PS4 player, I feel like a second class citizen playing ffxiv. I've looked at many top ranked fcs and nearly every one of them requires parses to merely apply. PS4 players can't monitor their dps output to tighten our rotations. In trying to shield newby players from harassment, you are inhibiting ps4 players from being taken seriously.

You're the one that isn't taking yourself seriously and you're having self imposed low esteem issues because of it. I know a couple of console players doing second coil of bahamut and they looked for a static.

The issue isn't rotations but "hard core players" associating consist performance with a platform/controller. Console/controllers players will be singled out because the overall impression that those that prefer controllers have reactionary skills imposed by the controller design and console overall latency that associates having monsters appear on screen consistently.

Can you please make a definitive statement on where you stand with parsers and what you are doing to stop their use if they are deemed illicit? Because honestly if you were remove every player who used a parser, i'm willing to bet you'd lose all 10 or so of your most bleeding edge raiding fcs.

There's already a definitive statement in regards to this issue the issue is that you can't accept it or for that matter those using it.

If you really want to make an argument for Square-Enix to take you and everyone using one seriously then bring up QoL. Since that's exactly what this is about nothing more and nothing less.

Right, I've read the whole thread. Is the OP really complaining that he got turned down by some FCs that require their members to cheat?

It's sad that in 2014 we are having this conversation.
