How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

What? What ...even...

...ok? I don't know how to respond to this.

Sorry if it sounded confusing. I use a cheap desktop computer is why. Granted it only scored a standard on the SB benchmark so dodging mechs can be a pain sometimes. Price wise its the same as a console is what I was trying to get at. However, I'm assuming you are talking about gaming rigs that are high priced stuff.

No, I was thinking of the basic desktop - you still have to get a monitor, buy a decent graphics card if the desktop isn't at least decent enough to run at 18-24FPS, etc. My laptop can't handle ...pretty much anything beyond 4-mans because of visual effects. PS4, I've already had for other games prior to me subbing for FFXIV.

I don't think laptops are good for gaming due to the heating issue. Meh I suppose your right in that console is better unless you had a gaming computer. Also I probably won't be able to try high end content as I won't trust my computer when it comes to dodging mechs.

I’ve played on a laptop for almost 2 years; it doesn’t overheat. Granted, I use an additional cooling fan for it, but even before I bought that I never suffered from problems with it overheating, and I can game on it all day with zero performance loss. I fight more with my internet than I do with my actual laptop; it works quite nicely until I can build myself a proper rig.

A crew I ran with once took me into the Phantom Train, and holy hell, it was a nightmare dealing with the choppy framerate, my attacks either getting delayed or not going off at all (and I was a monk at the time, so bye bye rotation), and my old laptop got way too warm. As far as consoles go...meh...I wouldn't buy a PS4 solely for FFXIV. I mean, to each their own, but that wouldn't be the sole reason for me personally.

I don't understand how people can play online FF on console. I learned my lesson from FF11 when i started out on PS2. Console will get outdated while the game will keep going on the years and you will be left behind as the updates will not work well on your old console.

I don't understand how people can play on a laptop / computer. I prefer sitting on my comfortable sofa looking at a big tv screen anytime.
I have a PS4 4 Pro currently and no problems with updates whatsoever. And once the PS5 is realised I will just buy that - and who knows if FF14 is still alive then.
No, but seriously, it's just a matter of taste. Some simply prefer consoles while others prefer playing on computer ^^

The thing is, if you have money, you go for a Gaming PC for unrivaled power.
If you have less money, you go for a console with games mostly optimised for its power.

How do you know if it's your computer or the internet that is the problem? I always see myself dodging mechs but still get hit so there must be a delay and unsure if its my computer or the net.

People who don't have logs or elect to hide them are typically kicked from weekly Savage parties. They can be kicked from EX Primals too, but that isn't as common. Basically, the exclude you're accusing an official parse of already happens. Not using FFlogs only makes people assume you have something to hide.

And this is why FFlogs is Toxic.

Why? If you're joining somebody else's party and you don't meet their expectations (and we know there are varied expectations, like being a Lala, a SAM, etc.), they have the right to kick you out of their group. If you join their party, and you are holding them back or causing the fight to go on longer than necessary, then they have a right to kick you. That's not toxicity. You just don't meet their expectations.
