Would you like an in-game parser?

That is way too much work and pointless just to try to keep the peace....

I'm giving Reinha credit though and a like because I'll admit it's a lot to go through just to keep things quiet, yet this is the balancing act. You have the process, you have the functions and you have limitations..along with about six other things. My concern was being able to act on the misuse of it, her solution..which was given, was the list of options. This is more of an automatic monitoring rather than a free system to punish people.

With that in mind, now comes the weighing of whether these implemented features would really create a larger gap or are new threats going to come up? Nothing is perfect, but now we would have two groups in Party Finder. Those who won't parse for quicker players, or set a limit..say will parse if we fail more than three times. Then we have the probability that those who choose not to be parsed in DF get kicked. Well what if that option only shows at the end? Then someone will be back here saying they want to see things as they progress along

Sometimes, it's just best to say..no. As long as they stand by their decision not to have one this prevents people from getting upset at someone who isn't doing what they feel is optimal and kicking them. Most people don't try to cover it up or they get so upset they forget to sugar coat what they're doing.

There is good that can come from an individual official parser, I will say that...but there's also bad. I feel a bit bad about it because there are a number of those who want it because it's what they are used to and will be kind about it. In the end, the major flaw are the players..there is no patch to fix that..

The best way to do it would be to give everyone a choice. A choice to parse the group if it's a premade, a choice to parse ourselves everywhere, a choice to not be parsed in DF and a choice to see which premade groups are using the in-game parser -> a choice to avoid them or join them..

Without adding extra manpower and overhead to the GM's, I think the solution you gave is the best one. I will admit, you took my bigger concern and minimized it. Now whether the scales of it being productive by both the system and the users would be the next one, and if those possible outcomes outweigh each other. That..I don't think anyone can really answer, it would have to be put in and we would have to roll the dice. Though I'm not for parsers but I will say that's the better solution if one had to be made. Sorry to keep pushing out "what if.." but I work in a world of probability, that's my downfall...
