Built-in Parsers

[BigRed5392]

That data is meaningless if you're just playing epeen. Get your head out of the gutter: looking back on data in past fights has helped my group optimize and barrel past mechanics before. Being able to pinpoint exact times and places where healing can be laxed, dps can be pushed, and when to play it safe is invaluable.

Of the two of us, the one on the anti parser side seems more obsessed with using it strictly as an epeen stroker. Just an observation.

im not stroking my epeen. XD jeezum crow, you need to look up the meaning of context, if you think im being rude or something.

If you and your buddies use it great, you have visual context to back up numbers. you are using it correctly as a helpful of self improvement.

What I'm talking about is just straight up look up someones parse, and judging them. No visual context to back up the numbers.

Im not even anti parse, I just dislike how rude people can be over fflogs parses. If statics use it as a tool, great you use it for the right purpose, not everyone does.

More often then not people use it to BLINDLY judge others over numbers with no visual context. stats/number are meaningless with out that visual context.

I see it often in the forums when people link other peoples log and use it to insult them.


ps i have 0 idea what the dark blue number means anyway. I don't parse (ps4) no one in my fc uses a parse. Only found 2 fights that i have been parsed on 1 was a sch 1 was my smn.
my sch is not well geared as i don't play it often, i just did the fight to help someone. My void arc one could be one of many runs i've done, so no clue.
What im trying to say is, that VISUAL context matters, not just numbers on a spread sheet. I ways also just letting you know i have nothing to hide as well, feel free to look me up on fflogs.

also "get you head out of the gutter" is a phrase that you are not using it correctly. just saying.

idc if ppl parse, idc if statics use it , idm being parsed. Just don't use it to attack others. Don;t use it to pick a fight and force people to play like you, you can't.

Its rude and wrong, no one is forcing you to play with people not of your mindset, you just gotta deal with the consequences. If you have an issue with how others play, set up a pf. Make a content linkshell.

Which goes for everyone, no one should be forcing mindsets and play style on others, and using a "good" (not my opinion) tool to bettle others ruins that tools usefulness.

I've played an mmo with a built in parser, and it did nothing but made ppl act less like a team. And i rather not see that here, i rarely see ppl work as a team, just infighting, blame game and vindictive attitudes.

what i found to be more funny, is my g/f character doesn't even exist on fflog XD she runs content more then me, and is more of a hardcore player then I am. Guess no one in her 4-5 years of playing parsed her.
