The problem is two-fold:

People who believe DF content is hard enough to warrant complete optimization.

and

People who think those that do are important to matter enough to worry about their opinion.


Neither problem is caused by a website nor parsers. This community has a weird habit of misplacing blame on things that have no bearing on the issues they face. They also have a weird fetish towards wishing to be apart of groups that don't want them. For example, if I wanted to make a group without Au Ra in it. Au Ra players would go crazy. Like they are somehow missing out. Like they are offended they can't group with someone that doesn't want to group with them.

My outlook is this. I don't want to group with people who don't want to group with me. So people who don't want to group with me, I'm not offended that they don't. Whether it be because I play a character type, class, play a certain way. I'm not going to tell you all how to feel. But I believe alot of you would benefit from a similar outlook.

Stress isn't good. And stressing over someone not wanting to group with you for whatever reason.. well I wouldn't do it. You all do you.
