Would you like an in-game parser?

Again :/ not the point, i talked about training to clear and learn a fight. Because from what i read on other post it's like you can't do that without a parser.

That's exactly what I was talking about! In older games (apart from XI), there was no battle challenge (such as enrage) that parser would have helped you to train to beat. In XI there was and parsers were used for that. In XIV DPS is even more important, as is aligning group buffs and performing certain amount of actions within certain time as well as keeping up high enough activity %. These are things a parser can help you to measure and thus enhance your performance, which weren't present in the older games (and as such, parser wouldn't have helped in learning to perform better in those fights).

The thing is, only speaking from my experience here though. Parser didn't helped. Because the people i were with, and it was with a bunch of parties (obviously not all of them) were aiming for a high dps, more than enough to clear, that is true. But they couldn't do mechanics and wiped, so couldn't clear because of this.

The only thing that mattered to them weren't doing things right, then do better DPS. Nope, the opposite. Hit enrage and adjust is better imo. I know parser can be usefull. The problem is, it is in most case not used right. Hence why i don't want one, but that is another story.
Some where even arguing about some dps not done enough by one where there were still more than enough. But the very same person didn't do mechanics (just an exemple)
You must have seen those old Zurvan party and today Shinryu, the problem isn't the DPS in most case. I wouldn't be against parser if people were less, people i suppose?

In most fights, you need both: handling mechanics correctly AND high enough DPS. Parser doesn't help with the first, but it sure does help with the latter. If you're only focused on one of those, you won't beat the fight.

That I know, now explain that to others...

Just because people can misuse a tool doesn't mean the public should be denied that tool. With that logic, the public should be denied the internet because not everyone uses it correctly.

Beside the internet (and that is not entirly true), a lot of things are indeed forbidden because of the use that can be done of them. That aside, if SE do add a parser, i want a way to report cancerous parser user like we can for RMT, sorry.
