SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

[ispano]

Addons unless made by SE are still third party tools, like I said, once they are no longer against ToS to use, using one won't be cheating, but as long as they are against ToS, by definition using one is cheating. I really don't see how you can't see this, the definition of the word cheat has been put before you, you agree that they are against ToS, you agree that using one provides an advantage over not using one. So you agree that it meets what it takes to be cheating, but still refuse to admit that it is cheating at this moment.

No, I agree that Third Party Programs are against the ToS. That's what you are refusing to acknowledge. If it was against the rules solely for being a parser, it might be a different story, might. But like I said, when addons get implemented, and we have functioning in game DPS meters/parsers, BUT third party programs are still dis-allowed, such as the many that exist now, what then? Because that would be a huge contradiction to your argument.

Who knows, later down the line SE could toss in a radar add-on or anything else, by your theory since there is a possibility that it could happen in the future, and the only way to use it now is with a third party app, then it isn't cheating to use one now, even though SE is actioning accounts that they prove to be using them now.

Missing the point entirely. The act of parsing is not cheating. Using a third party program is for sure against the ToS. The only reason Parsers are ONLY third party programs now, is because we don't have an addon system in place yet.
