Final Thoughts

[KageTokage]

From my vague understanding of the topic of "hunt radars," back when I started playing in 2.0 there actually was a 3rd party program that detected, flagged, and relayed (to other users of the program) hunt marks. At some point during the many patches throughout 3.0 that program stopped working and hasn't been updated since. Everyone I know generally disliked this program as it often resulted in the ppl that actually worked on popping S Ranks missing the mark entirely if they spawned on the opposite side of the map from the trigger.

Nowadays there is only a program that can detect S Ranks afaik... So when ppl do triggers they know immediately if the S Rank actually spawned, but then they still have to go out and find it and do calls/relays once they do.

The program did die for a while, but the maker eventually published the source code and it got revived.

There's a select few individuals in my server's hunt community who constantly use it (Largely because they just want the false sense of "prestige" for being the first to relay the hunts, to the point where they'll subtly stalk people in my hunting group between zones without actually trying to spawn anything), and it just causes problems.

This will be my last post, I'm done with the game. Some thoughts...

For all of you that cheat and use parsers, and hunt radars, gathering bots, etc... and then have the gall to tell others they are not good players because they don't... enjoy your toxicity.

For SE.. maybe trying actually enforcing your ToS?

So much of the community in this game just openly brags and craps on others that refuse to cheat as being bad players that don't "want to get better." And SE... does absolutely nothing. Nothing at all.

Bye.

I actually laughed while reading this.

Wee woo call the parsing police!

I also doubt the OP tried to find or make an all ps4 raid group as was suggested by a few in one of his threads. Though even in a group like that you can tell how bad dps is just by how slow the fight is taking just not who or why. For example I helped out an FC mate on the burn and both the first and last bosses went on longer than they normally do with good dps. Heck we even wiped on the last boss because we didn't make the dps check. Made it on round two but even then it just felt slow to me and because I play on the ps4 I couldn't say anything more than in FC chat that everyone focusing on the same add was dumb.

Though the OP did seem to really want to die on a I don't want to cheat even if I have no clue I'm doing so because someone else is hill. Like you won't know if something you buy off the market board was gotten by a bot or if you got parsed unless you get told about it or actually check fflogs.

Im on ps4. I create my own tunnel vision and i dont have parse to do callouts.. can i brag about it?

I hope you find a game that fits your needs. I will say this though if you have an issue with parsing best of luck finding any MMO that does not use it in some context.

Know it is not a popular opinion but I do think being able to name and shame, coupled with the smaller community did a lot to deter people from generally lazy play. I never played those older mmo's. Though I have a feeling if a player did the bare minimum their name would spread like wildfire and would greatly impact their own experience. So why risk it? That is just the vibe I get when m I think back to stories of the past I have heard.

please, complain some more about how what other players do privately makes your gameplay experience so bad.
