I've been thinking along those lines, as Battleping is the only way I can play without rubberbanding and undodgeable AoE. But I think identifying and working with transit providers to fix the routing and packet loss issues many people seem to be experiencing would be a better solution in the long term.

So, just to clarify, is this no longer the case? You have GM's issuing violations for mentioning something that we were all in the understanding that was okay to use?

I'll quote it again, so you can read it.

This is why people put time and effort into providing something that other, successful games either provide directly or give support for. FFXIV seemed to be on board, and there was much rejoicing.

It's a good thing to have, with content this difficult, to be able to parse to see what are the most effective rotations so as a dps you can do your very best to help your group do content.

What you have bold and underlined is referring to the OP question about using VPNs not parsers.

It's an honest question that needs a quick response because everyone is using assuming it's ok based on this statement.
