I guess it is not due to competition, because it is not supported by the genre.

In case anyone's wondering why some folk want more solo activities, I'm sure this is among the reasons. The need to devalue others is one brought on by the players, not the game.

Btw, cooperation in quotes? Seriously? Is it this foreign thing you've never engaged in during this game? Some attribute afforded to villains and freaks?

The majority of the game is one where you work with players, not against them. That there is concern about parsers and those those that use them is partly from being forced to adopt a mindset they might not share with the game.

What you and i think of it, doesn't change the fact that some will take it upon themselves to enforce their play in parts where it isnt wanted. That goes for(and has threads in) every role.
