This topic again.

What's funny about all this is that the parser thing isn't just alone in this situation: many other possible features are also bashed for fear of "abuse", because they think that might make the community toxic.

Ironically, the fact that people are not wanting such features and relentlessly refuse to acknowledge them in the possible future, actually makes the community even more toxic.

If people want a better game, risks have to be taken - even though they're really not risks, but more like "phobias" at this point. Not inserting a parser doesn't automatically equals to no abuse: people can do that already.

Every community has toxic people, every community has bad people but most importantly of all, every community will have abusers. And FFXIV is really no exception to the rule. Deal with it.

But raise your hand if you've played MCH/BRD absolutely kicking ass but your DPS partner(s) are completely underperforming and you die to low DPS/boss takes noticeably longer, resulting in YOU being kicked or harassed because "brd dps low/mch bad dps".

I will raise my hand, it's here, for example. If we had a parser, I could show raw numbers proving that no, it was not my fault. But I don't have anything legal in game to prove that.

I don't care about parsing other people, but I would REALLY like a self parser, even if it only works in SSS. I always fear my dps is really bad so I just stick to Tank or Heals for any semi hard+ content.

Are you guys ready for a radical idea?
On how to solve DPS-meter based harassment?

Here's a radical idea: Don't be bad.

Too radical....and idealistic.

I suppose expecting the bare minimum from people is too radical, and too idealistic.
Better to just change the role from "Damage Dealer" to "Tourist"

Just there for the sights and all...

That's asking too much, plenty do seem to want this game to remain a hugbox for bads!

No one starts off as great but why would anyone want to withhold their own growth I don't understand.

Because apparently if you plug your ears and go "lalalalala", magically, the problem disappears.

Kinda like sweeping dirt under the rug and acting like your house is clean.

We're not getting one. This bad debate has been going on forever on this forum. Get used to the idea. The dev team is smart enough to know it's not a good thing for the game.

More like the dev team thinks the playerbase in general needs to be babysat.

Unfortunately, they're absolutely correct about a sizeable portion of it.
