People are being elitist in OS2? You sweet summer children.

wow, 42 pages and still going. All angles of this topic must have been thoroughly covered by now.

The last "should healers DPS?" thread got over 100 pretty easily, so there's plenty of life left in this horse.

If not, a phoenix down will do.

How is players using PF for what it is there for a potential problem? PF is there for people to make the party they want to make. If for some reason a party either doesn't suit your playstyle or doesn't want you then you have easy options: make your own PF, or look for/join another one that suits you.

I see parse runs sometimes on primal but I don't play DPS jobs as my main so I just ignore those and join normal farms since I'm still practicing RDM. I mean I do this all the time when I am choosing to do PF content. I just look for PFs that suit me to join or make my own. It isn't hard and I've yet to have any issues playing this way.

This is kind of funny.

I always see people moaning and complaining about "elitists" in dungeons, saying "Well, if you want perfection, go make a PF". And when they make a PF they complain anyway? -.-

Ultimately, if they want to factor their numbers, an "unsupported by the game parameter", they have the right to do so. We can argue about the ToS, but it's no hurting you in any way. Like people suggested, people complaining about these players also have the right to create their own PF according to their needs and capabilities. It works the other way around too.

It's not a matter of whether or not some players will be toxic. That's a given, guaranteed to happen, whether there's an ingame parser or not. Better question is will it change the current state of toxic players. A toxic player is a toxic player, they'd be toxic with or without a parser.

Love has a cruel sense of fun.
It never plays by the rules.
It spins us both on our heads,
Turns us both into fools.

It leaves me on my own
With tearstained eyes,
Oh, what can I do?

They say that losing at love,
Breaking your heart,
It only makes you look
Even more beautiful.

I don't believe it's true,
But I see you and what can I do?

I wish that we could be close.
Close enough to use
Our real names for once,

And you would say to me,
"Oh, I love you so!"
You'll say you won't let me go. Oh, yeah!

Rain falls on me,
And now I'm walking away.
Tell me, do you find me
More beautiful now?

I'm not the kind to let
You watch as I cry,
So I've got to leave...
I've got to forget you.

And so I'll hide
Myself away from the world,
Leave behind the sorrow
Of a sad little girl.

I though that I had finally
Won at the game.
You told me it just was for fun.
I suppose that I was too young.

If you know what this is from you get a sandwich.

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.

MAN I SURE WOULD LOVE MY OWN PARSER SO I CAN SEE IF I'M DOING WELL OR NOT WHEN I'M PRACTICING ROTATION/DOING TRIALS/DUNGEONS SO I CAN KNOW IF I'M IMPROVING OR NOT INSTEAD OF HAVING TO CONSTANTLY ASK MY PC FRIENDS.
