Only way it would work is if they had a very very strict rule about how you talk to others about parses. Along with of course, private parse only. I think basically no matter what, as long as they make it an immediate ban for bringing up someones parse numbers that it's fine since thats how it works right now anyway and it keeps people civil.

I'd like to repeat that actually. That's what keeps people civil.
A lot of people already use parsing things. but they're terrified of opening their mouths because they dont want a ban. And thats exactly how it should always stay. They could simply add them in but keep that level of strictness up and it'd be perfect. I say this with like 10+ years of mmos behind me. Parsing in itself isnt actually awful, its 1000% all in how people treat each other over it. If you let that run rampant, yes, it seriously changes and warps people into nasty little freaks and the games enjoyability plummets hard and fast driving many out because who wants to bother when EVERY run of EVERYTHING is about 'fast parse runs only'. Go on, ask blade and soul. Anyone pretending otherwise is just naive/inexperienced with mmos-or even worse, they were one of the ones doing it and see nothing wrong with it. Its just that behavior that needs to be controlled. So as long as they forever keep those types muzzled in fear of losing their accounts then yah maybe someday it could be possible.
