If you don't like being target for violating TOS...how about don't violate the TOS?

The anger come from people tolerating lack of QoL improvements by using 3rd part tools.

If they start enforcing those rules a LOT of anger is going to be directed at the devs for not providing official tools to replace them.

To the DEVS. Put up or shut up. Unless you can do better, stop trying to stop people.

Hilarious, saying I am "mentally ill" for not showing my FFLogs. It's actually quite disgusting and a totally inappropriate accusation when there are folks really struggling with mental illness. As these responses show, too many of you treat this GAME like it is a professional job. So maybe it is you all who need help? It truly is sad how your lives revolve around DPS numbers and high-end content like you're getting paid for it.

Bro. They never claimed you were mentally ill. They just said it clued them into your mentality. There’s a difference.

And to be honest. I wouldn’t want to raid with someone like you either. I don’t like being carried - and I definitely don’t like carrying casuals like yourself. Thankfully you seem to stay away from semi-hard content anyways so despite us sharing a data center the risk of me encountering you is minimal.

Mental refers to your ability to function under pressure, and to keep your emotions under control. Tackling something like Ultimate or Savage content takes strong mental, because you have to be able to deal with being wiped or wiping the party 10-17 minutes into a complex fight, without letting it tilt you and affect subsequent pulls.

Someone like you, who can't discuss the concept of visible DPS numbers without emotionally flying off the handle, just doesn't fit into that kind of environment. People tend to want rational and mature players. No one wants to deal with someone who holds the group back, but is too volatile to approach about the problem. People don't even want to deal with that type of player in casual content either.

Stop right there criminal scum. Police! Guards! Call 911! Someone is illegally tabulating the damage numbers freely available in the battle log. I've been violated!

Parsing is good for the sake of personal improvement, but I dislike the fact the FFLogs is an "opt out" service as opposed to "opt in" as it draws a lot more negative scrutiny from people then it would otherwise.

It creates skewed performance metrics when you have people who are not actively logging and having parses inconsistently uploaded by others regardless of how good/bad they are vs. people in statics who are actively logging but can choose to omit runs where they made mistakes or did worse that they felt comfortable showing. The latter is inherently going to look better even if in practice their actual average performance is identical.
