Would you like an in-game parser?

I'm against parser in game. Already enough cancerous player with the way it is now.
Some will say that you don't need a parser to have this type of player and it's true but you can't report those people easly so...

It's far easier to report a non-parsing individual for being a twat than a person who is parsing, if you're insinuating that it's the opposite. A lot of people who parse rarely make it known they're doing so unless they're in a static setting where people won't go off the deep end and report them. There was literally an individual going around reporting PFs that mentioned "parse runs" of Omega Savage on Aether for a while. How vindictive do you have to be to report "parse runs", especially if you have zero ambitions to actually join in on the PF?

This thread alone has shown that anti-parser individuals can be just as "cancerous" as people who parse. How many have demanded that any and all who parse be banned on the spot? My personal favorite was the individual who called us all "parsetards". But they weren't being toxic or anything.....

No i didn't mean it that way, by easy i was thinking as like we can actually do for RMT. We can report it, but it's by a long formular, and since there is a lot of person to report for their trash behavior it's long. So not easy imo.

As for the parser in itself, i don't give a damn. Anyone can use it for all i care but the thing is the discrimination that almost always goes with it. And this is the reason i don't want one, it's bad enough as it is.

Discrimination comes with everything; it's not exclusive to parsing. To blame the tool for people using it to be a twat is wrong.

A good example is Party Finder: I can make a ShinEx farm stating "Miqo'te only" or "ilvl 340 only" and that's effectively discriminating and excluding any and all who aren't either Miqo'te or ilvl 340. Should we get rid of Party Finder because of the "discrimination potential" it has? No. You don't blame the tool for the actions of an individual.

Whether you realize it or not, you're discriminating against parser users by insinuating that people who parse automatically discriminate. Also, your claims of parser discrimination are purely anecdotal, unless you have quantitative evidence in the form of research and numbers to back it up. Anecdote does not constitute fact.

You can say that parser discrimination is bad as much as you want. I can counter with "how so because I've only seen one instance of harassment via parser in my two years of playing". They're both anecdotes and they prove nothing.
