In competition with myself: a request for PERSONAL parsers

[Teraluna]

Parsers, like any tool, are good if used beneficially.

But as we all know, they have been - for years - used as an ingame insult mechanic by a percentage of the playing population.
Unfortunately over these years this percentage has increased as the ingame social standards have suffered an ongoing decline.

Some would say the playerbase only has itself to blame for some people's resistance, even dislike, of this tool. Whilst acknowledging that not all players are the same, it would be hard to argue with this statement

Now a personal parser, whilst on paper sounding like a safer option in terms of in game behaviour, does open the door to this, and fairly easily.

For example: A players posts their parser in group/raid chat and demands others do the same. Those who don't are an immediate insult target for the original person and maybe others.
This spreads to general chat, as people are publicly criticized for not posting their personal parser information.

As the statement above suggests, the playerbase should look at it's own behaviour before looking at the developers - and the ever increasing trend to use parsers, not as a benefit, but as an antisocial insult in the game.
