I don't want to use parsers

Theres nothing wrong with buying clears. I want to see content, I don't want to grind gear. Doesn't affect you in any way. If they brag, just ignore them. Its not a witchhunt though, if you let them bother you or rant about it you're just feeding a troll.

Think about it this way, the people that can clear it (even carrying someone) gets gil, the person that wants for whatever reason to buy a clear gets their clear. A definite win-win. No need to attach meaning to everything someone does. Don't judge.

Well, sometimes people buying carries aren't even bad players. They just either don't have the time to join competent raid groups or haven't found one yet and don't want to go through the hassle of being held back forever by bad PuGs.

But yeah, if you buy a clear and it was obvious you were carried, don't go joining farm parties until you get more practice. You'll get blacklisted anyways and then you've wasted your gil.

This was actually my point. I just didn't convey it properly. I've participated in paid clears. I've even used them to recruit players (refunded gil). People are free to do whatever and normally it doesn't bother me until someone claims a title/clear makes them skilled or better than someone. but yeah the point I should've made is I've seen a player I've cleared immediately jump into a farm party on patty finder. Another person I did the clear with jumped in the party and informed the group.
