SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

[Mcshiggs]

As someone mentioned earlier using a parser is the same as a sprinter timing their runs, if you consider that cheating you are insane. Harassment is harassment, regardless of third party programs and it has nothing to do with parsers,

If the organization that is hosting the races has a no stopwatch policy, then yes timing the sprints is cheating. In XIV they want everyone to feel like heroes, them giving you access to a tool that will let you point out to those "heroes" you are screwing up, and here is the proof isn't something they are going to do.

Honestly, I'll just wait and see what happens when we get a player made addon that does it all in game. I honestly don't think SE is completely against them, just doesn't want to seem like they're allowing an external program of one type, so people might think it's ok to use others.
