How would an optional, official parser be toxic?

[Sigma-Astra]

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 Console will get outdated while the game will keep going on the years and you will be left behind as the updates will not work well on your old console.

It's a really simple process actually.

1. You go out and buy a PS4 with a controller.

2. You go out and buy Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood. You install the game onto your PS4.

3. You sign up, pay for a subscription, and do all of that fun Mogstation stuff with registering the game on your service account.

4. You boot up the game.

5. You play the game.

Note: I've been playing XIV on a PS4 for over five years. I started around the time HW just introduced the Gordias fights, it's not going to get outdated any time soon.

And this is why FFlogs is Toxic.

And this is why we have a toxic environment around parsers.....because of people not being able to handle the truth about their numbers at all and cry foul the minute no one gives them a gold star sticker for effort.

You don't get invited into Savage parties if you can't perform, likewise, you don't win the spelling bee if you can't spell the word correctly and missed one letter.

You've no evidence they are holding you back you've just looked at website they probably don't know exists or don't want to use.

This is like saying 2+2=4 on a calculator is wrong and that it's not enough of a direct and factual evidence to be used in order to say that yes, two plus two equals four. ACT is literally a calculator and FFlogs merely just translates that data into something we can understand on a screen while doing the math for us and separating it into different sections and categories.
