An Alternative? to parsers..

[Nedkel]

We can argue hypotheticals all day long, it's still not going to support the over exaggerated claims of the anti-parser crowd.
Its naive to think that there won't be people that will abuse them, people already do with the unofficial parser we have access to. Its the hilarious highly exaggerated scenarios people against parsers like to claim as undisputed fact and how it would tear apart the FFXIV community.
I've played wow for over 10 years, I'm quite familiar with what happens in scenarios of people grieving others with parsers and the game is fine.
People just don't want to accept any kind of responsibility in endgame group content so they spin their little what if scenarios and anecdotes as fact to try to make their point. Which needs to stop.

No its not.

1.6 mln active characters over 20 lvl comparing to over 3 mln just 2 years ago on this one site with statistics.
Its not doing well, since the game is not welcoming to the new playerbase, guess why.
People dont want to take responsibility of a red-heated guys, who need to make something 10% faster. For the game developers as long as you make the content withing the given time, you are doing ok. The game will not be succesful with the parsers, because these doesnt add any value to the game that will attract newcomers. Its not in SE policy to cater parsers and their high score hard trying, they are not doing any money out of it, the hard truth to be spoken. The game will and is focused to gather as many new players as it is virtually possible, either by releasing fun to play classes or more dungeons focused more on the mechanics and not dps. The simple fact is you are NOT welcoming them by blasting numbers in their face and showing them how much they sock in a PVE, thats stupid. Its afterall just a PVE you are talking about, you just get some gil and some items at the end of the day, its not pvp where there is an actual ground for implementing ranking system.
If one want to grind PVE as fast as possible, he has the opportunity to play it with the ones he know they are doing super well. Expecting doing the same from Pug's is as absurd as expecting Russia or China to give up their nuclear warheads, you just never do it.
Do i sound reasonable as a diamond tier League of legends player, to shout out at the pug's in the casual game mode they dont know how to play and they sock and they need to git gut? No, i would me asked where is my common sense gone for holidays, since what i have expecting? Newbies or causals that play 1 game a day to be good?
Eat it or leave it.
