Is a Parser ever comming?

[ispano]

Think it would be a terrible idea. You see enough people being kicked from groups due to a third party parser as it is, would be ten times worse if every player in the game had access to one.

And some of us think it would be a great idea. Those people would kick and abuse others without using parsers.

As for the thread, yes we ARE supposed to get addons at some point, but all hints have been at UI customization only. We likely won't get an API that allows for proper parsing in game, especially while dots aren't listed in the combat log itself.
