Exclusion is it then. That's great it feels a lil bit like progress.

Have you ever thought that exclusion can be used to protect people?

Let me give you few examples that might infuriate some of the anti-parsers. Would you say that it is bad when there are female only FCs? Which are made to protect their members from harassment? Or mature FCs that are there to avoid irresponsibility of younger players?

Well the same applies to FCs who would want to invite only players of specific skill. If you can't do your part in fights it might create toxic environment and so this requirement prevents that.

Now for the DF. Can parser be used to protect players in DF? Absolutely. It can protect hard trying players from the Netflixers of Slackerdom.

Just today I could have used parser on several occasions, and I mean the other person having parser - not me. I got several way too undergeared players in my groups that if they were not there nothing much would change. I am not that type of person to kick them from group, but if they saw how pitiful their contribution was, maybe they would consider at least visiting local market board to gear up.

Here is the main thing the people who fear parsers are totally ignoring - when you join a group you are supposed to meaningfully contribute. If you can't do that then you do not deserve to be there. It's that simple. Yet right now there is no way to protect players that try they best from these exploiters who do not care. Parser isn't going to fix this on its own of course and here is where your exclusion comes from. If you are not willing to pull your weight then you get called out first and if you continue doing this kind of harmful behaviour you are going to be kicked. To protect the rest of the group. Simple.

You fear that new players might be excluded... well yes they might be. They might be excluded from content that they are not prepared to clear (be it gear, or be it skill). If you are not good enough to do something, then you should never ever expect others to carry you through it. You are basicaly imposing your work loadout on strangers without giving anything in return. Would you expect strangers to do your job for you and for free? No. Because it is immoral. Yet not many players in-game care when it comes to carrying...

So yeah. If it were not for all the bad/slacking players, maybe parser would not be as much supported.
