Parsers make you stupid

[Melondra]

Parse should be used as a learning tool to gage your own DPS to attempt to make improvements on your self if you wish, they should never be used to conddem another player,se need s to step in on this and start banning people for the used of 3rd party software, they didn't put up with it in FFXI online and it should not be tolerated here.

It's how the parser interacts with the log files. From what I hear, SE has no way of knowing if they are being used, because they are not interacting with the log files in such a way to be detectable from the server end. So in short, they can never stop it. Furthermore, they themselves have posted server first clears with high end raiding FC's which clearly show the usage of parsers. SE understands their use as a tool and have commented they wanted to officially sanction 3rd party add-ons starting with Heavensward.
