Parsers make you stupid

You should be self-conscious. This is a group activity. IRL, if you are on a team or at work and see that you are clearly under-performing compared to your colleagues, most human beings would attempt to better themselves so they don't feel the shame of letting the group down. Why can't this aspect of social behavior be extended to a game where you must socialize to succeed?

That's horrible. No game should ever make someone feel shame at not meeting other's arbitrary expectations. wtf is that? You want that?

You can choose to not be part of it you know.

Also, multiplayer games rely on you know, people working together.

absolutely. but people working together to accomplish something has nothing to do with shaming people, of all things in a game, and then thinking that is not only fine, but desirable. Totally messed up thinking. In fact, quite the opposite of being sociable and working together.

It's called the real world, not the we don't keep score, everones a winner, and gets a participation trophy crappie forced on kids today. Now I have to put up with kids that expect to be carried and run crying reporting harassment because someone was mean. The truth is regardless of it being a video game these are real people and no one wants to carry dead weight.
