I don't like to post on here or generally associate with people on here because of well... threads like this, but I was sent this from a friend for the pure amusement and I want to fully understand the mindset of the players that don't want to do their basic rotation or choose to perform badly. I get people say that parsers are bad because people play the way they want to. I WOULD understand that fully if this was a single-player game, but this is a game with people that work as a team. As a team based game you would be dragging others down by your bad performance and the players that your are dragging down will have to make up for your, "I wanna play how I wanna play" mindset. Isn't that harassment? Don't you care about how you are making others work harder because you don't care? I am not saying you need to min/max yourself but to do the basics. Like not having on the wrong accessories, a dragoon with no heavy thrust or just spamming the full thrust combo, a war spamming butcher's block, a whm that thinks cure III is the biggest heal, a blm that never does fire III, not doing your positionals, and you get the idea. This mindset has been pressed upon people to the point that correcting someone is harassment or just being an, "elitist." And all those examples that I have listed are just of a few of what I have experienced. I understand people are new, but I am talking about the people in Alexander that have had this game for months and months and still don't know how to play their class. So why is this accepted? And yes I fully approve of parsers being in the game so people can at least see themselves compared to others.

TL;DR: Why is it okay to perform badly and bad for others to correct you?
