Please let PS4 parse our dps like pc

[Caitsithhh]

Mention FFLogs and that you're parsing someone's DPS in game and I *will* report it. Very quickly in fact. That's been explicitly against the ToS forever.

Who hurt you?

Why are even in here when you’re clearly a casual and most of the majority that took part in this discussion agreed explicitly that parsing wouldn’t be for anything but high end duties....?! We’ve excluded casuals as to be fair as possible. You’re acting like a salty and callous casual that’s jealous there’s a whole large group of people that enjoy having tools to play this game while doing content you said yourself you don’t. They don’t care for cards, housing, or w/e else you do to pass YOUR time in the game. They care about pushing themselves to be the best they can be. They aren’t parsing to harm a casual, I assure you.

You can stay in your casual content and would never once be bothered by parsing if implemented the way the majority would have it in the client. You can’t be bothered by someone doing content you won’t do.

This is in fact the whole root of the problem. You want ffxiv the way you want it. So does everyone else. There’s nothing wrong with that at all as long as it’s not detrimental to the game as a whole. Thinking parsing would harm the community is about as low IQ as it gets. I say this because it’s been around since the game started and it’s only grown to be the best community in any mmo. All while having parsing there under your nose...

If you don’t like it, ignore it. SE staff actively watch their hardcore members race to world first running parse windows in plain sight. Reporting players for taking part in something you don’t is going out of your way to harm another player’s preferred play style.

Jealous much?

See this right here is why I never mention FFLogs, and just kick people.

I'm so happy that FFXIV doesn't allow parses to be used in game. Was a part of a dungeon run in WoW a few days ago where we were burning through the dungeon, but the tank would list everybody's individual damage after every boss. Then they demanded we kick one of the DPS who was doing little damage (because they were trying to figure something out with one of the skills). I mean, we had zero trouble, we could have just kept going, but because the numbers demanded it the group kicked the DPS otherwise the tank was going to walk.

It's just stupid. There are so many nuances that numbers don't account for.

You mean the same way you're making everyone believe that you're a "Top Tier Healer"? You've done a pretty bang up job on that recently.

B-but... it says so in her forum signature! Honestly, I looked up their profile and I'm legitimately not sure if it's meant to be a joke or not :S.

Sounds like an idiot that doesn't know how to use a parser.

I'd have kicked the tank.

how bringing parser would turn the game into an esport?

You haven't demonstrated a single behavior of which anyone should be jealous.

Hey, at least say it to my face. I'm a great healer. Never claimed to be the best. But I am good. That comes after years of playing. Not instantly. I worked for it, just like others. People like you and Caitsithhhh are so obsessed with the idea that I'm terrible at this game, but you're little more than words on a screen. Keep slamming that keyboard. I'll keep playing.

I dunno, I'm pretty jealous of his healing as a monk, makes me wish I could heal as good as him.

Well, we should also fix his wording: the correct word is envious, not jealous. A pretty laughable mistake. But seriously, Caitsithhh, heavens help the confused soul who looks at someone like you and feels even a small amount of envy. Your toxicity is nothing to which one should aspire.

Well I'm pretty envious of his healing as a monk then, really makes me wish I was as good as him. You could learn from a top tier healer like him.

Very true. If he can heal as a monk, perhaps one day I can become a great White Mage.
