I imagine there are ways by which the translated quote's intent could remain within what is reasonable. Do I suspect that was, in fact, the intent... Not so much, but I doubt he was giving full license to grab others by the heel and insist on a tow.



To be fair, he also seems to have little idea what he's talking about it regard to parsers, else the plethora of MMOs if which they have become normal in play and have ultimately reduced toxicity -- in its various forms of blame-tossing, finger-pointing, near-immediate disbandment upon a single or second failed run, or kicks on basis of suspicion alone, etc.
If I recall correctly it was from an interview discussing fight design and possible harder 4 man content with Yoshi's response being that in 24 man and 8 man content personal responsibility is mitigated and those fights can by and large be carried off the backs of stronger players. This fear of shunting more responsibility onto players in harder 4 man content is why they are hesitant to produce that content.
