Here's what I don't get. If the responses to questions like this are always the same, and they're sick of answering them, why don't the people who pick which questions get asked at live letters/fanfest just go "Oh. Parser question." Then throw it over their shoulder and pick a new one?

Don't get me wrong, I'd like a parser too. But if the team are tired of answering these questions, why don't they just not answer them?

Because it's a recurring request from the players dedicated enough to go to things like FanFest. They know that there is a discord between their wants and those of the hardcore playerbase, and discounting it out of hand will make them go to other games faster.
