Is a Parser ever comming?

[ispano]

Well then in that case with the way SE tries to keep everyone "friendly" with the 30 minute lock outs for quitting and no tells in dungeons then they likely know the issues parsers can cause and if they're ever going to allow one it will most likely only work on yourself.

Let me fix that for you. "the issues PLAYERS can cause" Getting tiresome that people blame a tool for what the player does. Always has been and always will be the player. Even if the API is only for UI addons, people will still use external programs, and even if they don't, those people are still going to be that way. Changing what tools they have access too does not change any of that.

Doesn't matter. SE will see the inevitable potential for drama it causes regardless of whether it's the tool or the player. They don't care for your "social justice" you're not some sort of judge you're just another player. Unfortunately for you and other parser enthusiasts due to the plague that is WoW casual players are seen as a bigger source for income and SE doesn't like the potential for casual tears/exclusion leading to lost subscriptions. It's that simple. As far as SE and their wallets are concerned you'll have to get over it.

I think you're mistaken about my intentions. I'm not here to say parsers should or shouldn't be allowed, but when people pump out LIES about them, I will speak up. Same for either side. And yes, Casual players are the larger group of players, then tell me why we have content that said casual players (and I don't mean all of them, some have) have not and/or cannot beat?

ilvl destroyed everything not a parser. parser just makes it worse people get mad you missing that 5 dps a fight.

And I still don't see this, i've done more DF runs than I care to count, and this "attitude" is a rarity in my experience. But let me ask you something, forgetting a parser altogether. If I saw someone in DF, a DD for this example, not performing well, say a BLM only using Blizzard. I try to help this person, but they blow up at the first bit of helpful advice I try to give. So why is it the person trying to help gets punished with having to leave and eat a timer, or sit there and eat wipes? And yes, I've been in this situation before. I will give advice where I see it may be needed. I won't sugarcoat it, but I also won't bash the person either.
