This is why this game should'nt get a parse

[Alien_Gamer]

How would parsers make your experience worse? Surely, the whole point of parsing, just from the perspective that it is simply a tool, is to figure out how to improve?

Easily. If SE makes parsers official then they are no longer against TOS and grounds to ban someone. It removes a very powerful deterrent to people bringing out parsers to harass others. It makes my game worse by having to put up with those people.

Will everyone do it? Absolutely not. I don't pretend otherwise. However I've seen it happen enough that I don't believe it won't be a common occurrence in this game.

You miss the point again and trying to make people improve doesnt make people toxic. What is toxic to me is I go in a farm, expect people to know how to do dps and mechanics but far too many players fails that, so why are you going to be a-hole and waste 7 peoples time? Because you had fun? Think a little bit what you said there. There are far too many players who leech of others and how is that not toxic at all? Or is it because you fell for their ''I have fun, damn you all If i can't, because it doesnt matter if we wipe or not as long I HAVE FUN''.

You're attributing words where they don't exist. I have nothing against helping people improve. I also don't go into content without preparing myself for it before hand; that means making sure I meet the minimum requirements of the job and duty including any dps checks BEFORE I even enter. The only variable when I enter should be learning the mechanics. I don't need a parser for any of that. Clearly you have some issues with other peoples DPS but you're aiming that wrath at the wrong person.

You don’t need parsers to bring out toxicity.

You're absolutely right, you don't and there is plenty of toxicity everywhere without it. As far as i'm aware there's no rigorous studies on the social dynamics of parsers and toxicity to point to, literally all I have is my experience and the behavior I've witnessed. That is toxicity grows when parsers are allowed in the game.

I also don't disagree that what I said about my experience is purely ancedotal and I wasn't trying to state it as anything else. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear on that. My experience with parsers is the reason I don't like them, you like them because youve had good experience with them; its personal experience, not an absolute and thats all it should be taken as.

Again, my point was there is more than one reason to dislike parsers. My point was not that the game should revolve around my experiences.
