The Real Problem with Parsers

[Ilan]

Yeah right read the Thread and you see it. Humiliation begins if someone kicks a Player because he doesn't deal the DMG he deals.

I don't even care if i carry a player in a damn random Dungeon. Its a Game and if there is a bad Player in my Party i still can give him Tips or something, but i never would kick him.

And before you suggest i'm one of those Players who will get kicked you are terribly wrong.

The issue of toxic players isn't directly linked to parsers, however. You certainly don't need a parser to recognize truly bad gameplay, nor do you need one to shame and/or kick other players.

Similarly, helpful players as well as those seeking to improve will continue to behave as expected, but with the added benefit of being able to make tweaks in response to user-friendly metric feedback.

When i read that People in this Thread kick other Players out of the damn EX Roulette. Why don't you godlike Players (that seems what you think from yourself) go in there with a premade Party? There wouldn't be people who won't fit in your fine world of playing.

Don't know a Parser for myself would be fine to practice Rotations but the Problem is that most of the People need it to humiliate other People who are not playing on their Level. Thats sadly a part of online Gaming.

Don't get me wrong i don't hate Parsers, i hate People who use them to show their giant Ego and humiliate People who aren't like them.

I'm one of those 'elitists' that use a parser but don't use it to humiliate/kick others. But I guess I have to start kicking and trashing on 'lesser' players now since I'm an elitist parser user, according to assumptions such as the quoted. Seriously though, fear mongering such as this only weakens the stance the anti parser crowd and SE is taking.
