The Real Problem with Parsers

[ecastle2]

Oh yeah, well, there was this one group who I was with and they were like "Oh man noob, you totally should have been eating HQ Tailor-Made Eel Pie instead of your noobish HQ Lalafell Pot Pie" and then kicked me.

So there. >.>

I'm surprised no one said anything to this but I'm going to call BS here. Lalafell Pot Pie isn't a food in game you just made that up. Also Tailor-Made Eel Pie isn't meant to be eaten it's a turn-in for the Zodiac portion of the relic quest. If you ate it you wouldn't get any stats from it.

Yeah, even if those food were real/meant to be eaten the story would still sound very fishy, definitely a bs story. You lose a lot of credibility by lying like that.

I could be wrong but I don't think he was being serious. Just went back and re-read it and I think he was totally doing it in jest.

To me that is very strange place to suddenly joke, in the middle of a raging debate. It could of course be that but it did not come through to me as a joke. This is the problem of the online forums I guess.

No one's said anything because it was clearly a sarcastic response to my comment. Context, guys. It's important. >_>

To be honest, I'm kind of scared that people thought my story about being kicked over not eating a completely non-edible food instead a completely non-existing food was meant to be serious. :/

Even more so when I added the important detail later that it allegedly took place in Cutter's Cry. >.>

You lose a lot of credibility by lying like that.

Even if I was intending that to be taken seriously, do you honestly think I care about my credibility among people who literally have said they haven't read my arguments and then make things up because they assume it's what I'm saying, regardless of how many times I specifically state the opposite?

Do you really think I care about my credibility when I've specifically said I'm not anti-parser and then people jump at me for being anti-parser?

Do you truly, truly (outrageously) think that I care about my credibility when people try to convince me that parsers would be great for allowing people to track their numbers for improvement when I've already said repeatedly that I agree?

truly, truly (outrageously)

Okay there Taric.

Okay there Taric.

I won't lie, I'm at least a little disappointed when people consider that the reference.

is it because everyone is a stickler for detail and you omitted precisely one "truly?"
