Hell, even not on patch day and with guides released we still can go "why did I die" in savage ver just because sometimes game itself can blurp and one shot fully mitigated tank because of server lag.

So cactbot isn't at fault that people fail content they see for the first time lmao
You don't actually understand what I'm saying.

SE makes alterations to the game during even minor patches, which causes the FFXIV parsing plugin to break. It then has to be manually updated by its maintainer, and tested by the community before being released. This process has accelerated over the past few years, but can take anywhere from like 4 to 12 hours.

During this time, Cactbot does not work, including in content that has already been available for months. I've literally been in a static that would cancel Tuesday raids if there was maintenance, because some of the members were not confident enough to get reclears while Cactbot wasn't working
