Time to ban parsing Square Enix

[Yumarox]

I do not know if SE has the ability to ban the statistical concept of percentiles or frequency distributions.

Who wants to rage and gatekeep?

*hands raise*

Who wants to keep their raiding scene valid and healthy?

*hands stay up*

Who wants to train and gear their replacements, so when players decide they've had enough, the entire raid team doesnt disintegrate?

*hands slowly lower*

Do not compare American WOW to JP FF14. if you want those 3rd party tool then go back to wow. SE has a very strict policy which is why they've shutdown MARE. and American servers aren't entitled to decide on what YoshiP will do.

True, but don't get mad when non JP players resort to things like Alexander to get rid of the high ping and latency tax in a game where it punishes you the further you are from a data center.

"strict policy"

Yeah, right. lol. Sooooo trueeee...

Lmao even.

More like "selective".

Perhaps the fact that parsing is banned is the reason why people don't seem to understand what some of us are talking about or actually saying on the forums a lot of the time. They can't "parse" the meanings, it's against ToS :C

No I think it's because everything you post is all nonsense.

For competition, sure numbers matter, but the post I replied to was about personal improvement, and the best answer for that is the duty recorder since it will have more data than just your damage numbers, like seeing which abilities are being used at what time, if they slide casted or cancelled the cast. For self improvement, the duty recorder is better. For sweaty 'hardcore' people who need a number to feel good about themselves, yeah parsing would work.

You're vastly underrating how valuable parsers are. It's not just damage numbers and a fancy color that gets uploaded, but literally everything associated with how you reached said damage. At a glance, you can see exact numbers, if positionals hit, clipping due to ping issues, rotation timelines, snapshots and a lot more. People focus on the pretty number they get, but parsers are invaluable raid tools.

Don't get me wrong. A better duty recorder would be fantastic for quick recaps, but if you're looking for concrete data, a parser will always be better.

You're bringing it up as if Square would make that exactly as current third party tools. This is the same company that still has a bug with sustain potion able to remove debuffs if you time the application properly. Asking for all the info you described in an official fashion isn't plausible with the team's skill. I mean, look how long it took for hats, and not even all of them. Asking for expansion on a current feature and add extra bits over time seems like a good way forward if somehow down the road third party parsing gets a crackdown as well.

I 100% AGREE! Parsing doesn't tell the whole story. only envious ELITIST stalkers/ paranoid players use it to rage bait on reddit and any other social media platforms.
I'm glad that SE took down mare <3 hope that God forsaken parsing is next to be taken down.

IF were going your route heres the things we need removed. Universalis, Wiki pages, discord, youtube channels, music channels, oooo remove the fan art, remove anything related to ff14 so we can appease this guy. This guy the type to want any and all stuff about ff14 removed. You cant have 1 if we cant take it all down. Dont you dare try to justfy yourself you know thats what you want.

Bruh.....you wanna know whats ironic about this statement in the funniest way possible......he mentions 3rd party tools....how many mods have been converted over or third party tools into functions in our game. The devs look at those tools and tend to wonder how to incorporate them into the actual game. Speech bubbles = mods before / They have mods that actually used raid tools and third parties that used those and now we getting that function in game. You truly do not understand what you are saying but decided that you would spread your single minded hate onto the forums...no wonder ppl hate the forums here its not the smartest takes on here.
