Yoshi P statement regarding third party tools

[CalamityTwo]

Their stance makes player culture so much more tolerable in this game. Playing WoW all but required add-ons so people could track how bad you were in their eyes and keep you out of whatever content was out. Having read these forums for a bit, I can guarantee if they were any softer on it half of you'd be making the game misery for the other half.

Yeah, I sure do enjoy the passive aggressive hostility present in this game because no one can outright call out anyone performing bellow the standards required to clear a duty.
The "Improved culture" of 14 is a lie and anyone that wants to do anything more stressful then a roulette will be exposed to the reality of the situation real quick.

Also, the toxicity of WoW does not come from DPS meters, as someone who's played it. it comes from the massive waste of time inherent in that games design, when you stumble at the end of a 40min run and lose everything.
I have never once seen anyone be put on blast for low DPS unless they were straight up afk.

Then you sure as hell haven't played the game long enough then. I played that game for 17 longggggggg years, and let a group wipe for some reason, once or twice, and watch people try and call out the one that is low in DPS for the reason they wiped. Sorry, but I seen that scenario way too many times to believe what you just said. I get you may be trying to shame FFXIV, but using that example you just said won't work on one who has played WoW for that long and knows the ends and outs of it.
