The issue nobody wants to address

[ChandraNoctis]

How about making it an option in party finder? When creating groups you could select parse or non-parse?

More elite groups would likely always select parse and those who don't want to be parsed know in advance not to join or to create their own groups?

Someone posed a similar idea earlier as well, where when queueing for DF, you selected a Parse or Non-parse DF. People seemed to ignore it, the crowd against Parsing especially so. You can only guess why.

I understand the issue people have with lazy players but I also understand why people are against parsers. Official parsers WILL lead to more elitism and that WILL be directed at new or inexperienced players, more often that lazy ones. That leads to a more toxic environment in the community and drives people from the game.

There exist unofficial parsers and SE seems to have a policy of 'don't mention you using them and we won't punish you for it'. This means you can theoretically tell if someone is doing badly. You just cant chew them out for it. It doesn't stop you leaving the group and finding a better one or using the Vote Kick system. It just means players can't basically be elitist jerks about it and harass less skilled players.

Except, a whole segment of the population cannot use them. A very large segment. As mentioned before, there is already a toxic portion of the population. Will a parser expand that in a measurable way, or will that portion who is already being toxic, use parsers to with their behavior.

After the millionth thread can't you all agree to disagree? I hope they put in a parser of some kind so I can see if the people who disrupt dungeon runs with complaints of low dps are being 100 and not just being keyboard kings.

Nah... we all know that is impossible. Everyone of both sides of the argument will always want to have the last word.

Actually, there is a proper response to that a few pages back. On why people cannot agree to disagree. Some may understand that it's not about a last word. Will you?

I've already given my response to this topic and all other threads similar to this one... I kind of don't feel like quoting myself again.

Yet you keep reading and replying.

Tbh, throwing a trollie response in every couple of pages about how you don't care isn't exactly neutral. Someone who doesn't care, doesn't respond. As far as he as concerned at least. The response to you was a little serious, not entirely, but a little.

I said i wanted a parser.
