Parsers

[kukurumei]

They can't win lol, home brew apps would just keep adapting to any changes as they lose more and more money.

They don't have to win, they just gotta make it so annoying, that everyone gives it up. That's what happened to windower. All SE did was re-point their memory every update(it takes minimal effort to do btw).
At first it was about 48hr before a new version of windower was up. Then it was 1 week, then it was 1 month, then the developer rage quit, and passed it to another developer, then that developer rage-quit, and the windower just got longer and longer between updates.

And no one quit over not using the windower, you're blowing smoke.

This is why it's easy to ban stuff like this. Which one will you run if given a choice? a parser for a game or the game itself? All the game maker has to do is make you choose.

Only way they could stop it is if they prevented players from accessing the combat logs. Which wouldn't make sense at all since there is a combat tab in the chat window for us to view.

Why would players need to access the combat logs outside of the client? All SE has to do it encrypt it within the client, and just rotate the encryption in their weekly update.

Just ignore people like that. I dont understand peoples hurry. Were playing to kill time, yet some want to be as efficient to save time, to then kill it.
Its the minority that use parsers, let alone get upset that your doing less damage than others.
Feel free to disagree

Well first of all I never even implied anyone quit over not having a parse, so don't put words in my mouth.

Secondly, it's not banned now, and I would put all my chips in it staying that way, so everything you say means absolutely nothing until that changes.

Logic Bomb.

I don't play in PuG groups anyway, so you won't find me harassing anyone...

Either way, if what somebody on a video game says seriously bothers you, I would cringe at how you would handle an actual insult from your boss or loved ones in real life.

You don't get it. Most people play these games to get away from stuff like that. Bringing in a bad attitude and grief is not helping anyone. There are enough good people that understand this and won't act a certain way because "RL is just like that". I'm just saying, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. I think they taught they in preschool also, no?

Again, I don't have any issues with name calling, I haven't called anyone out over dps.
I also plainly agreed with the OP that people shouldn't be attacked over it.
But if you're upset enough to make a post saying it should be banned over one bad experience, that's incredibly sensitive.

So I think it's you who doesn't get it, considering I never once supported the use of insults for poor performance, I simply insinuated the OP was overly sensitive in this particular incident.

Again rule of parser club is...don't talk about parser club.

So don't blame SE when they start taking moves to destroy parser club, due to over abuse.

[LeviBattousai]

I still don't understand why people are up-in-arms and butthurt about NOT wanting a tool to improve your dps or heals...

Parsing is old.
