You're quite literally demonstrating the point many have made about parsers introducing an air of competition into what should be a cooperative environment.
It isn't "just a number". You are basically devaluating all the effort these players put into the game. Also he said that he needs to be 1st, so it is clearly his goal. It's same as wanting to buy a house or collect all the ponies. Would you mock the players for it? Ponies? Such waste of time - you can ride your chocobo. House? Why? You can use the inn room, you silly... Exactly the same thing. Btw. in both cases you are competing against other players for rolls or free plots.
