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

There is no in-game way to know your parse, so you are using a third-party tool, or someone used that on your behalf, you just broke tos, congrats.

I have to wonder if this is a troll.


You have a suspicious amount of parses in content you partake in to have no clue of your performance or not be at least occasionally using them. Usually it would be sporadic parses across content if you are queuing randomly for normal content without a parser. In the offchance that you aren't, there is no way to prove that no one isn't providing this information to you.

Isn't publicly threatening to report someone for whichever reason also a reporteable action, by the way?

I'm not threatening, I'm informing them of what I will do, they are more than welcome to delete the posts.
And unfortunately reporting someone for not guarantee their ban, even if they are openly admitting to break tos

I thought their first reply to some arson was already clear enough that they’re here just to stir the pot.

Great, why not let those two rile up one another? Fight fire with fire, as they say

[solimiano]

So you are just confirming that you use or check said third party tool, I have no idea, since I purposely avoid all mods.
Again I am a console peasent, don't use or care about any mods.
There are no grey areas, look at the last statement from yoshida, any and all mods are prohibited, and are bannable offenses.
Good luck

I think FireMage has better stuff to do, he'd have posted way sooner otherwise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_i6mjiGerU This is in that video that Yoshida linked in his latest statment that you reference here. Lets see if he points out any behaviors you may be exhibiting and advises against them...

"If someone used that on your behalf, you just broke tos"? what? So I'm in trouble... because some rando I've never met uploaded parses of Normal Raids to a website without me even knowing? xD

Are you okay? Because this ain't normal.

Ok, quick question for you guys:

You guys are going gung-ho on this because Yoshida expressed his disapproval, yes?

...Yoshida also said there were gray areas. Yoshida also explicitly said he didn't want a Witch Hunt.

So why are you ignoring all the rest he said, and acting solely based on just one thing?

Unless you're doing it out of your own volition, but there are other nouns for that.

Yeah. I had someone randomly parse me back in HW and I had no knowledge of it until someone I know pointed it out what was probably days later. Just some random person apparently curious about my damage or something. Who knows. Wouldn't surprise me if I've been randomly parsed on more than one occasion through the years. Welp, guess that means I deserve a ban despite not consenting, using or even knowing about it happening.

Guess what? Solimiano is on FFlogs...le gasp!

Then report yourself. You have parses logged. Guess someone did that on your behalf. Oops.

All these witch-hunting, finger-pointing, and baseless accusatory crusades are pretty sad, and a vast majority of this thread is practically the embodiment of what happens when people elect to go on a show-me-tell-me party.
