Would you like an in-game parser?

So instead we should have people confidently asserting things they know nothing about, and when we bring actual receipts that prove that's not true, it becomes about "mean harassment" instead of...being wrong about things.

I know enough about parser culture and its accompanying behaviour to know we dont want it here. One does not have to eat rat droppings to know you dont want them on the dinner table.

Toxic casuals want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to never improve, never learn anything, never do difficult content. and also be seen as luminaries who should definitely be listened to as authorities without question.

Or you have veterans like me that are simply not interested in climbing back on that merry go round any longer. I am surprised that you dont realise that after a while, it gets to the point where it doesnt appeal to you any longer, and where you decide you want to do what interests YOU and no one else. I dont see why anyone has an issue with players deciding how they want, and do not want to spend their time on.

You'd actually die of shock if you ever knew how many like me there are.. No more schedules, no more multiple wipes for hour after hour, no more loot or FC drama, log and log off when it suits YOU.

Never learn anything? You learn every day new things every day. This is...news?

"You should WANT to do HARD content, you should WANT to raid you should WANT to "challenge yourself".

Nope. I should want to do whatever i like.

But its okay. You're young.

You'll learn the hard way that perspectives, priorities change as you get older, and as that time goes, all of a sudden that hamster wheel of raid, get gear, wait till new tier, rinse wash repeat, starts to pale a little. All of sudden one day they will say " Be here at 6pm" and you will feel tired, worn out, fed up..you've already worked a long hard shift, had to cover for others, or done back to back shifts for over a week and all you want is to actually relax. Or sleep.

Or sit back with family you may one day have, accepting that spending time with them is far more important than pixels in a video game. If you ever marry and have children, trust me, what is important to you, essential, will take a massive U turn. You will blink and suddenly realise the last two weeks have vanished into thin air, wondering where the time went. But the kids need help with homework, youve come home late from work, absolutely worn out, you will remember that "Oh yeah we are raiding tonight".

No two guesses which will matter more to you, either. One is a computer game..the other is your actual life and those around you.

Remember:

Thats all this is, mate. A video game.

Thats all it is ......all it will ever be.

No need to "validate who you are" through saying "I did it when it was HARD"...Ive met challenges you will never know ( at least dear God, I hope you never do. You dont want those memories. Trust me..you dont. ). In all your peregrinations and thundering proclamations, that small fact seems to have escaped your notice.

You are LITERALLY having a conniption fit over what others do in a video game. Because they wont do what YOU want.

t's not about the numbers. It's about projecting insecurity. Plain and simple.

More about the blatant misuse and abuse of a tool, that is supposedly " for your own improvement" yet that same tool is used to belittle, harass and scream abuse at others. Said misuse is rampant in a parser culture, quite frankly, that YoshiP doesnt want that kind of attitude here comes as no surprise.

I happen to agree with him.
