An Alternative? to parsers..

No, because raiders wanted to single heal zurvan to farm him, and you needed to skip soar to have the DPS to be able to do fast farm runs and be able to do so. Y

I've seen ONLY 1 or 2 solo heal farm groups and some couldn't even skip zurvan, did those 1 solo healer zurvan groups exist alot of? Nope, I was playing very very actively around that time too. Ofc if you farm a fight you should be avaible to be confident enough to do it faster and more effective, pushing your damage etc, that's why it's called farm. Some people who wanted to farm couldn't do the mecahnics and that's why many expected it to be skipped. I can legit say back then 3 out of 8 players in most groups couldn't do it right and we wiped. But JP players actually RESPECT their fellow members. They use most of the time PF to practice and DF to kill or was it the opposite? I forgot. Anyways, they are more respectful towards others, while on this side of the world we have too many players who don't give a damn. You see it still today, people say farm and barely know how to perform the fight. They expect too much of others but we can't do the same.

The thing is, it doesn't even have to be in reality. It can be perception. Everyone was like "omg, its not hard, just do a basic opener" and yet from the sheer salt apparently 75% of people who did ex trials failed at doing a basic opener. Its like ice mages; I've been playing this game for nigh on 3 years now and I've never even seen one, yet its the go to example whenevr ppl talk about bad dps.

Oh they are real and there're plenty of them if you pay attention ofc, and they don't care about your tips. This guy never used fire IV for the entire dungeon. He was spamming freeze, blizz1 and 3 all day long with some fire 2 on every single mob.

They exist, like a lot of them.

Here's one doing less than 200 DPS in Rabanastre, although I think they did use a fire spell.
