Parsers and Problems

[graudon]

Lemme say my point. Community is really good in this game when u compare with other game communities. If we loose that we will be missing a big part of our ff14 family. I know we need parsers addons etc. But putting it on every piece of content will rekt up this community thats why I said putting it as a sub option or maybe just making it avaible for only savages etc. is the only good option coz other contents are simply good without a high DPS. Only thing that needs to be parsed is savage for me right now coz thats the point u really need to know and care what you are doing. Ofc u guys can say trials like ravana has DPS tests also (shield part) but its not that hardcore and a casual dps numbers with a nice group can handle it there will be no nead for a parse in that.

I can understand the sentiment here, but community issues are community issues and cases of harassment and bad player attitudes are ones that should be handled by the forum moderators and in-game GMs.

It should never ever be the case were concerns about the community are walls that prevent the game from taking positive steps forward in development, especially where it concerns tools that allow your players to become better at the game.

Allowing players to see their numbers and share accordingly through in-game means actually allows for more community development and discussion, you can see a lot of this already if you take a look at the job forums where things are posted like optimal rotation guides and BiS gear discussion etc, these are the building blocks that allow a community to actually form and flourish, to say that there will be an overall detriment to players as a whole is like trying to ban stopwatches from a track and field meet, or calculators in a math class.

There are already players who will use anything they can to harass others in game, report them and allow the GMs to handle those cases, but trying to shield the community from useful tools does not build a strong and productive playerbase nor does it paint a proper picture of the type of content that needs to be developed in the long run.
