This is why this game should'nt get a parse

[HyoMinPark]

If you cant argue without reaching for the extremes, I'm gonna end this discussion right here

Not an extreme; that is something I have actually seen. But how about these examples:
--A BRD that never uses Tactician or Refresh, even when asked by the healers for MP
--A BLM that never uses anything above a level 50 or 60 rotation
--An "Ice Mage"
--A DRG that won't use Heavy Thrust, or their Chaos Thrust combo
--A MNK that doesn't use Fists of Fire
--A SAM who doesn't manage Shifu or Jinpu buffs
--A RDM that refuses to help Raise
--A SMN that refuses to help Raise
--A SMN that never uses their DoTs, or has their pets on Sic
--A tank that won't use proper mitigation; ever
--A tank that cannot hold aggro while in their tank stance
--A healer that is careless with their MP, be it from overhealing or from too much DPSing
--A healer that won't heal

"Bad player" or "not 100% optimized"?


Your arguments are all about the potential for abuse. Anything and everything has a potential for abuse. Vote Kick features, Party Finder restrictions, Vote Abandon features. They can all be abused. Does that mean they should also be removed because the potential for abuse exists?

I reiterate again: people who parse, the majority do not expect 95th percentile play from people that aren't part of their hardcore static (if they are in one). They expect people to pull their weight, but they do not expect perfection. Perfection is unobtainable. And, again, toxiticty exists in everything; it isn't exclusive to parsers.
