    I'm against having an official parser. It will bring more bad than good. Doubt I'll bother trying high tier raids as it looks too skill intensive so my opinion is probably pointless. Granted I'm worried people will use it for normal content and it'll trickle down to low level stuff too making it the standard. Therefore, more drama and in turn making the community more toxic.

    1.) How would the usage of an official fully functional parser limited to the high end game be possible in dungeons and "casual" content?

    2.) Toxicity doesn't come from a parser.
    1. Parser generates facts and facts are not toxic.
    2. People take the facts and form them via words, feelings and intent.
    3. Also people interpreting the fromed words with their own intent and feelings.
    Number 1 doesn't generate toxicity. Number 2 and 3 can generate toxicity depending on feelings and intent.
    Also if people wouldn't be seeking drama and put on their big boy pants more often it would be less toxicity, because toxicity is subjectiv and depends heavily on context and interpretation.
