parse for ps4 users !

[Jamein]

True, many good and bad points have been made on either side, but the person who was trying the hardest to close the thread is gone now. I'm not calling to close the thread, but every point that can be made on the subject has been made repeatedly and we're on our... third? Fourth rotation of the same arguments both for and against. This is the sad fate of every thread about parsers. Right now I think Square has the better notion here, if rumors are to be believed, that there will be some kind of parsing mini-game in the Gold Saucer. Full access no matter the console. Anything more than that and we're back to the lab again...

I'll keep arguing how overall parsers are a net benefit to the community till I am blue in the face. Isn't that what people do on these forums? Steps of faith had 20 topics dedicated to nerfing an easy fight. Hell there was a 40+ page thread complaining about it within 2 hours of its release if I remember right, and in the end people got what they wanted. A braindead fight.

So yeah, the parser conversation will continue, because those of us who want official parser support know it would overall benefit the community and sadly despite how many good points we make it will be overlooked until we scream just as loud as the people saying 'BUT PEOPLE WILL BE MEAN TO US ON THE INTERNET ABOUT NUMBERS'

I'm honestly just tired of having to deal with lazy/incompetent players in an MMO where people are meant to work together yet DPS classes get a free pass when they decide to pull sub 500 numbers when 300 of that is auto attacks from their eso weapon. A basic rotation would be enough to satisfy anyone on numbers outside of savage/scrict farm PF groups. If you're unwilling to learn even that then you are contributing nothing and it's an insult to the 7 other people carrying your ass.

As for a parser in golden saucer, worthless. Training dummy parses are great for max potential but what really matters is that you can keep up your DPS while dealing with mechanics.
