SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

[Tiggy]

1. TOS says nothing specifically about Parsers

It's in the ToS.

2.5 Data Mining. You may not intercept, mine or otherwise collect information from the Game using unauthorized third party software.

add in the fact Yoshi-P has said on at least two occasions (I think it was two) that they are not allowed. Even going as far at one point to tacitly admit they exist and there isn't a lot they can do about it.

2. The Threads listed below* are parsing threads that have not be locked, deleted, or warned.

Having a discussion about it is not against the ToS and also isn't a valid way to determine if this is against the rules or not. Having a conversation isn't using third party tools to extract data from the game.

3. The players that say that parsers are bannable are probably bluffing and thus Trolling this thread. They can prove me wrong by having those threads* actioned by reporting them. Its been 2-3 days and they haven't done it.

Lack of proof is not proof of the contrary. Just because you haven't personally seen it doesn't mean it does not happen. There are over 2 million accounts in this game. Do you think you've played with enough of them to even know?
