SE don't tend to ignore player reports at least from what I've seen. I had friends literally eat a ban for asking to be kicked from a party so they could raid.

Adding a DPS meter doesn't automatically change that stance and I don't get why you would suggest that it would.
Authoritarians never give a crap about the implications of what they want. If they dislike something, then it *will* cause problems. Any justification will do. It's not just that they don't want it themselves. You must also be banned from having it. It's for the Greater Good after all.

Pathologically incapable of minding their own business. What's on your computer is their business if they don't like it, after all.

I was on the live and let live bandwagon until the frothing anti-parser crusaders decided to cross a line. What the hell more did they want? It's bannable to harass them. It's bannable to tell them their numbers. It's bannable to tell them *your* numbers. It's bannable to speak to them in basically any way that annoys or upsets them. But now they're weaponizing the rules to attack people they're not even interacting with, who aren't speaking to them, about them, or even doing content they'd touch in a million years. That's crossed too close to trying to control people's thoughts, which is literally something cackling cartoonishly evil people do.

Now it's not a don't ask don't tell scenario. FFXIV has a bunch of Puritanical witch burning killjoys, and they can bite me.
