Built-in Parsers

[Kacho_Nacho]

My bar? It's not going to be the same as everyone else. You'll see people with differing opinions. But sure, my bar is someone claiming to know and cleared the fight cranking out substantially less than they should be for what they're playing with. I also consider if they were lower due to clutch plays such as hard casting a res. I won't fault someone for trying to make the run a success. If they're new to the fight I expect them to suck it up and am more forgiving, especially if they're a guildmate trying to break into the game.

Thank you for going into detail.

It's a good example why a parser is not a bad thing, but you'll still have these people who will cry that parsers are the most evil thing in the world.

There is no need to descend into hyperbole just because I and others are against having parsers in the game. The example Whiskybravo gave was of the proper use of parser.

The issue is a number of people feel parsers will be improperly used by a significant number of FFXIV subscribers who will only look at the dps numbers and nothing else.

Furthermore, it is believed this trend of looking at only the "magic dps number" will extend well beyond cutting edge content down to even the beginning dungeons.

These beliefs did not come from thin air. All of us have had experience with games which allowed parsers.
