So apparently FFXIV-App is banworthy now?

[Ryel]

This is generally how I am hearing it related to the real world

Person A picks up a knife and points it at person B asking for money, the Cops come on person B plead and arrests person A

Person A try to to whip up a storm on the local news paper that Cops are arresting people for holding a knife, bla bla bla, unfair, human rights, etc.

It doesn't change the fact that you try to use something to rob others, and claim it was a problem with the way you hold your knife.

This just in:

Parsers are life threatening

I wont argue the potential for harassment that can occur from people using parsers to compare the DPS of their party members. However that isn't the fault of the parser itself, A parser is a just a tool, a calculator to be more specific that is only performing functions that a person could do on their own given enough time.

If the warning, because nobody was banned (not sure where this is coming from) was given for player harassment then that is an argument on different grounds altogether and should be debated separately.

Simply put people are up in arms that a SE GM was issuing a warning to someone for the mention of a program that is basically doing the same thing as a desktop calculator and in no way hurting the game or interfering with its files in any way negative or otherwise.

This is the issue at hand.
