Built-in Parsers

[Lazaruz]

I support the addition of an official parser. An official parser does not make harassment of others over damage output okay. Why do people seem to think it would suddenly be okay to do???

Because SE is already on record that it's fine to remove people due to low DPS as it's a "difference in playstyle". They're just cracking down on people who use the numbers to harass other people as you're not supposed to have those numbers to begin with, but with a ingame tool you are and the line between "difference in playstyle" and "harassment" becomes much harder to draw.

Lord knows the GMs already seem to have a problem with actually punishing people who step outof line, instead of just opting for the victim to blacklist the person

I mean, there's people who use tools to kill people, but are they banned by the government? No. The perpetrators get punished, and those who use the tool as intended are still free to do so.

Horrible example to make as that varies by country to country, and only the US is really the poster child for maintaining this attitude despite a OVERWHELMING ammount of murders, school shootings, and you name it.

Many other countries DID effectively ban guns, because some people cannot be trusted to own one. And the murder rate dropped like a rock as a result.

It sucks but sometimes punishing the majority is actually the best option as it is the most effective, and I cannot wait for the people crying and begging for a parser in FF14 so they can judge the numbers of everyone else, to realise it.
