The Real Problem with Parsers

No offense, but you didn't really give any support or evidence to why you think it would happen. You just reiterated that you believe it will happen. Which is fine to believe, but isn't really evidence of anything; it doesn't really convince anyone that's not already on your side.

If you think I have a side then my god I have no idea what you're reading. The support is that people have made posts on the forums about being excluded by even third party illegal parsers, so it only stands to reason that the same will happen with "personal" parsers. Do I need to reiterate that I'm not against parsers in general and I think they can be a helpful tool to improve or compare yourself with others of the same class especially? I probably do (though I'm not sure you'll see it the third time either) because I think you are just reading something in your mind and want to argue for no reason. You're talking past me. Do I also need to add that I am not worried about being excluded by any kind of parser, or will you not read that either? -_-

Honestly, I'm not here to argue, and I'm not going to bother posting any more to respond to some mysterious fight you seem to want to have with me. A poster asked someone to come up with a reason that personal parsers wouldn't basically be a no-brainer alternative to allowing full parsers in the game and so I did. I have no quarrel with you or the original poster that I responded to. So I don't understand what justified your responses.

I'm reading your posts, there's no need to be insulting. Semantics of the word "side" aside, you were making a claim that I disagree with. I haven't really seen these post of people being excluded by 3rd party parsers, I've only seen hypotheticals about people being worried that they might be excluded by parsers. Feel free to add links to prove that wrong if you want. Even if it is, that still doesn't follow that people will require ss of personal parsers.

You don't need to reiterate your personal take on parsers. Those are fine. I'm not talking past you, I'm pointing out where I disagree, which was on that one point, and saying why. You seem a bit offended that I disagree with you on something, tbh, though maybe I'm misinterpreting your tone.
