Please add something to FFXIV that disables 3rd party software interactions.

I don't care what Yoshi-P thinks. The ToS is the ToS.

He gets to choose whether to enforce it nor not. Their game, their rules.

[Kaedan]

You mean people using software that violates the ToS?

Don't think their backlash matters to be honest. They're cheating.

Parsing isn't cheating. Using one is technically against the ToS, yes, but it isn't cheating. Hell, even Yoshida accepts their use as long as you don't use them to harass someone. All the information parsers give you is readily available.

This isn't a parser hate thread disguised as a bot hate thread at all. Not in the slightest.

Lol.
I wonder if parsing it starting to run rampant with all these post related things about them.

The vocal minority of the anti-parser groups flare up every once in a while, especially at the start of new content.

Especially when this tier has pretty decent dps checks (in savage).

Pretty much this. Just ignore them, it's better for your sanity.

Just flavor of the month correlating at times with content. We go from parser debate to healer dps debate to community toxicity debate then to some topic that's completely unrelated to FF14 (that either for weeks or just gets straight up deleted. Shout out to ottergate 2.0) and then the actual discussion about new content and then right back to parser debate.

Seems like the only time people there's fun to be about on the forums is when new msq content gets added to the game. Newcomers arriving smackdab into that would get the impression the game's community is a slice of heaven and so is the game.

where does the genderlock debate fit into this? :^)

Genderlock debates has gotta be relevant for a minimum of one year. Then it graduates and gets a spot in the alumni of never-ending topics. Or at least until Principal Yoshida takes a complete black or white stance about it, where then it gets demoted and floats up during the (game) drought season.
