Absolute frustration at not being able to see my own DPS (ps4)

[zosia]

I'm all for a PERSONAL parser being added, as an optional function, I would like to say, however;THIS sort of attitude is where the problem lies, not in the parser itself. People like this is what gives parsers a bad reputation. A parser is simply a tool, people like this poster put that tool into a bad light by using it in a bad way. It has nothing to do with "getting thicker skin" no one should be made to feel uncomfortable or embarassed. "Calling someone out" does nothing to help a situation. People need to learn that not every human being is like them, I'm not gonna say that it bothers ME personally, because I tend to just laugh assholes off and get on with my day, but some people ARE inherently more fragile mentally, emotionally, and no one on the internet will change those people. It's called being human. Learn some damned compassion, the 'net will be a better place for it.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!


----------Strawman Alert!-----------

Let me dissect that contribution for ya.

It has nothing to do with "getting thicker skin" no one should be made to feel uncomfortable or embarassed.

Where did I say people should be made to feel uncomfortable or embarrassed? Please do tell! If anything, I have been a big proponent in this thread about black listing and reporting harassment. People DO get banned for being harassing a$$ hats.

"Calling someone out" does nothing to help a situation.

In what sense is calling someone out a bad thing? In what context? I provided none but you seem to insinuate and assert that I would call someone out in the worst sense? It's called conceptual semantics. The tone I used in my writing SHOULD suggest I have no interest in belittling players since I promote blacklist and report. I have no interest in getting myself banned so why would you make a logical conclusion that I would "call someone out" at my own detriment (AKA get myself banned)? If you use a bit of deductive reasoning, you could easily see that I call out players in a manner that does not violate the terms of service. Simply put, "calling someone out" can consist of belittling the player in the worst way to simply giving them constructive and reasonable advice. I will leave it to you to guess which method I use.... but please, construct your straw man and assert what ever you *think* my opinion is to deconstruct some argument that addresses none of the pro-parser crowd's valid points.

We have "black lists"
We have "report a player"
We have a ToS that is very strict against ALL types of harassment.

People need to learn that not every human being is like them

It's called being human. Learn some damned compassion

Yeah, I certainly did not know people came in all sorts of shapes, types, and flavors. I must also have no compassion! But hey, I guess strawmen don't have a heart... or brain? I don't remember, but in this case why don't we just assume both.... oh wait, you already did! Bravo!

On a serious note, With tools such as black lists and report a player for harassment, why is it even a concern of yours if we have any type of parser? Banning parser harassment on our live servers has worked very well, why would it stop working if SE released an official parser?
