An Alternative? to parsers..

[Bobs]

If you need a parser to tell you how good or bad you are playing then you probably suck. There are plenty of things in game to let you know when you are doing well.

This isn't a MOBA with second by second feedback. It's a casual MMO who's only real endgame is glamor; because we all know that in a few months that item(s) you worked so hard to get will be obsolete.

Currently I'm kicking myself for trying to get all i340 gear now that i350 will be the new big thing. Most people know that this is going to happen so they don't try that hard.

Or they are trolling you, until you feel the need to shout into an echo chamber.

I will gladly ask you for a RDM opener at lvl 80, since people who used parser to find a optimized opener sucks. So why not ask you instead? I'll bookmark this thread and make sure I come back to you.

Glamour is real *end game* in any game that has glamour.

Some people never try hard cuz there will be a new patch someday so they will have to grind for new gear and they just afk in limsa.
What do you even do in this game?

If everyone who uses a parser sucks because they use them, then please help us.

Explain to us what in game let's us know, without a doubt, with absolutely no room for error, how well we are doing in game.

Please go through the mental gymnastics to prove this to anyone.

Well, I was going to used parsed data to help figure out if I should go for Direct Hit or Critical on my MNK, but clearly that's wrong and only liable to make me utterly fail at this game. Yes, surely I shall just go with what feels better rather than use data, that's the way to go!

If someone measures their performance they suck, but if they don't measure it then they are good? How does that make any sense? What are these "plenty" of game cues that show you're performing above average?

Ok, Mr. 'Silence-Is-Golden-Until-Of-DF-Run', since we all suck, how about you tell us how you're doing? In your opinion, endgame is glamour. Some of us actually enjoy running the current Savage tier just to see how much we can improve our DPS. Some, like myself, like comparing our parse numbers to others on FFLOGs just because we want to see an improvement. Maybe you are trolling this thread with that comment...in which case, congratulations, kettle.
