Parsers add replayability for casual players

[Awha]

I can understand that. If you applied this approach to something else against ToS like let's say RMT, it'd be seen with immense negative feedback. Just goes to further show how not black and white "Having A Parser" as a topic is.

Oh in my eyes it is extremely black and white. Just allow them let GM's do their job when people report issues of misuse.

I personally think this whole grey area thing is just a product of trying too hard to protect the feelings of others.

The topic isn't black or white though.

Some people want parsers and don't care how toxic the game becomes after it.

Some people do not want parsers at all and think that adding them will definitely make the game completely toxic the moment they are allowed.

Some people on both sides of the issue realize that there is a risk to adding parsers and what impact it will have on this game's community. Will the moderators be able to prune the toxic people out of the game before they do enough damage to the reputation? Perception is reality and if too many people voice their bad experiences due to parsers, it could give a bad perception, even if those experiences make up a vast minority of runs.

As for me, I'm fine with their current stance with parsers because I'm not sure the benefit of parsers is worth the risk mentioned above given the current position on parsers.
