This is why this game should'nt get a parse

[JunseiKei]

I looked at PF right after reading your comment (and posting mine), and all I saw that was remotely close was a V1S PF that reads “parse”, and that’s about it (it’s actually still there, as of this posting). Others are standard “farm”, “farm, fast runs”, “farm, no doubles, know the fight” PFs. That all being said, PF leaders are allowed to make whatever requirements for their parties they want. I could make a “Miqo’te only” V4S farm and be allowed to do so. Such is the Party Finder. I would hardly use PFs advertising for speed runs or “purple or above” as some sort of griefing tactic, though.

Yes and before I made the post, I saw my fifth party this week requesting people with "orange DPS only" - which filled after my post and I saw no reason to take a screenshot (if I did, I'd be sending it to SE, not the forums). So, of course, you looking after my post would mean they are not there. It already filled.

You mentioned earlier that nobody should be restricted to do content as long they done it before. I JUST happened to be in a group not a long time ago (posted in this thread earlier) where I've had all the bad players at once and NO bonus.

2 times we got enrage 11% and 7%. Just because you done content, doesn't mean you haven't been carried. 4.2k in 04s is simply fine, doing 3.5k isnt however

I also stated the stipulation of being able to legitimately clear the content. There are groups that do sell content and can make up for completely lacking an eighth.

Pretty sure you did right there.

I did not, with the reason above.

Seeing more and more PFs requiring certain ranks in FFlogs to join party. This is really starting to become an issue. If you've legitimately been able to clear the fight, there's no reason you should need a certain percentile.

Why not prove them all wrong and make a farm party only for people with grey percentiles? Show everyone that there's no reason you should need to be above 24% on that toxic elitist third party website.

Party leaders have the right to decide who they want in their party. It may not seem fair to you but that's why you also have the option to make your own party. Trying to dictate what people should be looking for in a party is far more unfair, imho.

I believe that parses shouldn't be add to the game. You wanna parse? Well you got ACT already, so no thank you.

And what about the PS4 players that have expressed how they want to parse, but cannot, since consoles cannot utilitize ACT? Please don’t tell them to buy/switch to PC, because that’s not always a(n affordable) solution.

With time and patience, people can make something decent that can run ACT and XIV for around a couple hundred bucks, for bout the same cost as the PS4 back upon release if I wanted to give a rough estimate. Sorry if people don't have any patience but if they want their numbers now, then they can pony up, cause SE has given their same stance and solutions for the past 4 years, and that's to implement things that give the bare minimum (i.e training dummy), and still players have to come up with an alternative solution (dummy parse website) for the console players, while SE also turns a blind eye for for the most part until the use of ACT is used maliciously on PC, in which they intervene on the offending parties. So to console players that wait, have fun waiting another 4+ years, especially with that Duty Recorder coming out and giving next to nothing once more in terms of what you wished for, maybe someone will craft something up like last time, but hey, maybe try working with the CFW scene perhaps to get something solved? I mean if people are 'that' desperate. Cause guess how ACT was born? Cause people were desperate for a solution to take a good chunk out of manual parsing.

I am not going to go out and buy another PC just for the simple sake of parsing - that means getting a decent gaming PC, and re-purchasing another license just to play FFXIV on my laptop. That is not going to happen. Money does not grow like that - it's even more ridiculous to even consider doing this since I have a fine laptop, it's just not capable of reliably running FFXIV...and I am not buying another license. I don't like that excuse. Time and patience, my scaly behind.

Oh yea...lemme just get right on to putting ACT on my PS4 and...

oh wait...

I can't. Because I'm a PS4 player. I want to be able to run my own numbers, so I can see how I compare to others (it's been a while since I've seen my numbers).
