    It's both, to be honest. There are two sides of the spectrum and funny enough FFXIV excels at both sides of that very spectrum.

    Some of the genuinely nicest random people I've ever met have come from this game. There have been joyous memories created of people I've only partied with once.

    And I've also met some of the ignorant, toxic, asses possible in this very same game, in a completely different and unrelated instance. Some that makes me seethe and need to step away from the game to calm my nerves.

    The community is great and also have the largest thorns on the rose bud that I've ever seen. Quite the interesting juxtaposition.

    Anti-parsers dont have a reason for not wanting a parser because they're human. Humans make mistakes. Sometimes, we'll want to fix our mistakes. Sometimes we'll not. But we want it to be our choice. Being outed, constructively or not, positively or not doesn't make humans feel good. At first. Or later. Either way, when playing a game, especially a game of all things and then being told by a program that your numbers aren't up to snuff, it just doesn't feel good.

    Numbers are cold. The first impression a parser gives to someone who's not used to it is "your humanely possible efforts suck" or "Conform to a way it should be played". Again, all this over a game. The other side of this spectrum is something like "thought you could sneak in a get carried? Pls". Either way, its still being outed. And when you're outed by a parser, your immediate control over the game is turned over...to other players.

    That's my thought on anti-parsers

    If the game included a parser, I know exactly where it would go.
    Not in the run as you play it.
    Never then.

    You'd record the run.

    Then the playback would include parse.
