This is why this game should'nt get a parse

[IveraIvalice]

Just my 2 cents. I don't like parsers and I don't want an official one. I'd rather not know then to point fingers at someone. Sure it can help a lot but it can also be used to cast blame and single people out. If a person wants to get better they can parse themselves. But someone parsing someone else is just looking for who to blame, even if your looking to help that person they may not want it and they are still singled out

No parser please, I enjoy only pressing one button and watching anime while I play.

You already watch an anime by playing FF14.

If they dont want it. They should stay out of savage and ex fights.

If a person is holding back a group when it comes to content (and I am talking about Extremes, Savage, and Ultimate here, because that is the only content where parsing would actually matter), then something has to be done about it, rather than let the entire group suffer because one person either can’t perform to the expected level of the content, or doesn’t want to get better at all. No one is saying single them out in a rude sense, but if you have a V4S farm group and the SAM is pulling 3,000 DPS with high level gear and no deaths, there’s a problem there, and it needs to be addressed. It shouldn’t be up to the rest of the group to carry/pick up the slack for the person who doesn’t (or who cannot) perform at the level the content is requiring.

If people cannot meet the demands for the content, they don’t need to queue into it. They should improve themselves up to the level of play required for it, and then attempt it. Not just go into it thinking “I’ve done normal mode, so Savage shouldn’t be that much harder” or “It’s okay, the other 3 DPS can pick up the slack in damage I’m not bringing”.

Parsers aren't needed for that. I mean, shoot, people already get singled out and blamed anyways, and a huge majority of the time, it's pretty obvious why they are getting the blame. Go ahead and drop a thundercloud on the only safe zone in Susano Ex a few times. Or tank Alte Roite in Savage and turn him towards the party before he starts readying clamp while the fireballs on the outside areas of the arena are getting ready to explode. Or you could even drop your tentacle right in the middle during O2S. Or hell, just screw up the animal farm and get hit with every single cast when you're a tank or a healer.

Really, it's not hard for another player to single someone out when they're making mechanic mistakes. I've seen blame happen far more from ppl not knowing how to do their jobs properly or screwing up mechanics than I have from numbers.
