Case in point.
You do realize that the dev team isn't likely to watch their uploaded youtube videos or any live streams when they can access the fight realtime though their own clients, right? And even if they miss it, they can check the logs on their side. They don't need external assistance.
So generally, unless someone actually said something in party, this is in no way an indication that they're okay with parsers unless you harass someone. While it's ridiculous to think about, for all we know the dev team has no idea they were parsing themselves.
