    Good luck competing with people who cheat when you don't. Parses are based on the community's performance, it's not some hypothetical. It is based on the state of reality. The reality is that cheating is widespread in this game, so much that people feel entitled to defend breaking ToS on the official forums openly.
    Wow, TIL a friend of mine who used to be one of the top DRG's in the US without mods is definitely a cheater because you said so. I'd really like to know where you're pulling your baseless accusations that "everyone" above some number you pulled out of your ass is cheating. Show me proof, right now, or you're just coming up with baseless, emotionally driven crap.

    Also, once again, this isn't black and white, YoshiP has stated there are gray areas with mods.

    Also, I'd like to know how cosmetic mods are cheating?
    Also, I'd like to know how colorblind accessibility mods are cheating?
    Also, I'd like to know how the mod that fixes ping for a TON of people (I think it's called Alexander?) is cheating?

    I'd just like to add onto this and give examples.

    I know there are mods that change the waymark's font. And I'm on record for saying that I struggle to figure out the weirdly-stylized font sometimes, and the 4 sometimes looks like a weird C or a G. A more standardized font would help with faster recognition. Would this make people suddenly get 90% on parses?
    I know there are mods that add hairstyles and hats to Viera and Hrothgar. To the point where they're presented as examples for hairstyles people want to be officially implemented on those races. If someone uses a hair mod, does it automatically make them get purple parses?
    And I know that there are people on my server playing from South Africa. Nevermind EU players playing on NA or the need to open OCE servers. South Africa is give-or-take 11870 KM (7377 miles) from the European continent. Does that ping tool instantly give them a purple parse for fixing the ping they'd get for being in over 7K miles away from the datacenter?

    And if the answer is "B-But Playstation people can't use mods", well, a) Blame Sony because SE actually wanted to go for it, and b) It's not PC players' fault for others' choice of console.
