the idea that parser would promote toxicity is moot; the (extremely strict btw) ToS regarding bullying people over their damage wouldn't magically disappear.

in fact, in the case of an official SE damage meter, i'd imagine the ToS would be more strictly enforced lol. there wouldn't be anymore people bullying over damage more than there currently is (very few people are that dumb), and even then, those people would get bonked very fast.

it also shatters the illusion that XIV has a nice playerbase too; if FFXIV is truly all sugar and rainbows, why can't we have damage meters? it's almost like we're awful just like every other gaming community lol
