In-Game Parser.

[Moqi]

Please elaborate so that I may give you a proper argument. I may have misunderstood your post in it's entirety, for that I apologize.

What it boils down to is: this community has a tendency to take "neutral" things/attitudes that most raiders adapt positively and twisting them until they become a tool to discriminate players on ALL content. As it is right now, people who are looking to self improve can use parsers on their own or amongst friends. If parsers were endorsed, nothing would change for them but it would not only give toxic players another ammo, it would also have an affect on the general PF scene and people's behaviour, because bad attitudes are more easily picked up than good ones.

Is a little convenience on your positive use of parsers worth sacrificing if it prevents a lot of players from being harassed? I think so. I really don't see any gain an in game parser would bring that third party tools don't already, but there is a precedent of niche/alternative gaming aspects that have brought a slew of negative ripercussions after they became mainstream. It sounds very hipstery to say but from what I've seen it's true. Parsers are all well and good only if they stay among raiders (or anyone who is interested in bettering himself) and separate from the game.
