Would you be opposed to SE implementing a program to scan for addons/parsers?

[HikariKurosawa]

This statement seems at odds with your previous position that parsing doesn't really provide any performance improvement



In my disgustingly humble opinion, some rules are alright to be broken. I don't really subscribe to the kind of moralistic absolutism that rules must always be followed. Especially when the stakes are so low.

In the hypothetical situation that I were to parse my runs, said nothing of it, and just used it to improve, who would that harm?

Squenix? They're still getting my money, I'm active on their game. What do they lose?
Other players? If anything it benefits, as I'm a better teammate for it.

Well, if you read what YoshiP says.... I'm sorry to inform you but you're misguided and deluded by the idea that it's a "grey area". It's not. You are liable to get banned and SHOULD be banned no matter what if you are using addons. Reading parses is a different thing than reading ACT real time. One is reflection, one is a live metric for how effective you are pressing the buttons in game, mid-encounter.

Apples to oranges, pearls before swine.

Good thing none of us actually make the rules here.

There's a good chance I might if I were the sort of person to use ACT. Naturally, all of my information about it is strictly from hearing others talk about it, and what I've found on google.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch a pirated copy of the Last of Us because I can't afford another subscription.
