The Real Problem with Parsers

[Atmora]

Snip

Two things.

1. Adding the parse to the client can increase server loa by a fair margin. The primary way this has been worked around is parsing from game files and memory data which pushes the burden to your computer as opposed to the server.

2. MMOs where parsers as comprehensive as ACT or Recount built in are pretty rare, in almost every major raiding MMO the parser is community made, the difference is that other MMOs have official add-on support which makes then easier to manage community and dev side.
