This is why this game should'nt get a parse

[Sebazy]

I'm not a bad player, just average and I don't need logs to prove that to me. You won't hurt my feelings by saying I'm not good because its true.

It's poorly worded (An unfortunate trend that arguably spawned this thread in the first place), I'll definitely give you that. But there's definitely truth in there as well.

Look at it this way, if you were to embrace the data that parsers and logs offer, do you not think you could use that to become more than just 'average'?

I put a power meter on my pushbike, it doesn't automatically make me 3 mph faster everywhere, but by taking the time to learn how to understand and apply the numbers it's telling me, it can arguably do even more. This is what logs are really about.

But there are many reasons to dislike logs outside of a fragile ego such as it seems to bring out the more toxic individuals and give them another bat to use against other people.

And yet, the point that gets missed and brushed over again and again here, is that for every petulant child with a parse window (and likely still going to be an petulant child without said parse window) that's needlessly kicking up a fuss, there's an order of magnitude more quietly getting on with their thing because they just don't care. It's bordering on a discriminatory stance. Bigoted and hopelessly out of touch with reality imho.
