A parser isnt QOL at all..its a tool misused and abused to berate, harass and discriminate against players. Personally Id like to see parsers under a blanket ban. You dont need them to run content and people clear content w/out them easily.
completely biased to think that a tool that automatically adds and divides your damage is the root of all evil and everyone who uses it should be blankly banned. You’re one of those people who completely chooses to overlook the dark corners of discord that sells ultimate clears, sells Gil, and provides erotic sex chats in night clubs for real money. You’re also ignoring the fact that discord is the ultimate bot, where you can create in game triggers heard by the entire alliance if they’re in your channel. “Misuse and abused” in your statement is completely overlooking everything other than what you prefer to use yourself.

In my opinion, everybody who plays this game is old enough to have access to a debit and/or credit card..therefore as a customer old enough to know what I’m getting into, and paying with my own money, I have the right and obligation to tell the provider-of-services(SE) the quality of gaming id like, and not abide by some arbitrary rule created to coddle players who refuse to learn the in game combat properly. And as a raider (and I say raider because I’m paying SE purely for their raid content), one of those qualities is to be able to compete with myself in my games with a device that allows me to track my errors and damage output. They could even creatively implement a parse option in the party mode with an on or off button so that you know the current raid you’re joining is parsing. But to say that you never need them and they should be all banned is so biased and unthoughtful that you should rethink that statement.

You have to remember that square enix is a corporation who creates games for us, and in return we pay them for access. We do not pay them to dictate our gameplay, we pay them because we like what they provide. As a community we can request changes, and those changes we ask aren’t evil, changes mean we like this game, this is how to better it in our view. This game is squares cash cow and we vote with our dollars. If a parsing tool would mean more money for them, 100% you know they’d create one. The ball is always in the customers hands. As a community paying a corporation for their online service, we should adhere to what everyone’s demands are, not just different biased corners of the player base.
