Why are Parsecels so weird?

[causality]

They claim parsing is a tool for their own self improvement but then complain about people who hide their logs and even going so far as to make fun of others by publicly naming/shaming on Youtube videos or Discord channels.

Do you want a meme answer or a real one?

And that is why the devs don't want anyone speaking up about parsing in the game at all. because some people have the tendency to use it to shame people. I should also add if there is a video about parsing on youtube where the one doing it can clearly be seen that is a suspendable offense(they have literally suspended and eventually banned people for showing 3rd party tools clearly in videos on youtube and maybe other places).

FFXIV: "All of our important content has an enrage timer, so you need good DPS."
Also FFXIV: "No, you can't figure out how much DPS you're doing, that's against ToS. And don't you DARE try to exclude other players for low DPS, either."

Nonsensical and demonstrably false with the example Yoshida gave with his calculator/spreadsheet comment. Also, you have a free ingame tool to measure to your damage output for higher tier content.

You are allowed to exclude players from your group for any reason (GM confirmed this in a ticket). People have the autonomy to choose who they want to play with.

While I understand what you're trying to convey. Parseoids typically don't read or understand the rules to begin with, as indicated by them being banned live on stream multiple times.

The funniest thing is a few days ago I was in a reclear where this parsemonkey begged as at the end to not upload logs because they died. Some players really, truly do obsess over parsing and it's hilarious.
