In-Game Parser.

[Faelandaea]

Do you even know what the word elitist means ? Wanting a parser to better oneself has nothing to do with elitism. If there's anything that's bad, it's the fear mongering and the shear amount of ignorance people without the knowledge of parsers are spreading.

I do know what it means. And since you ask, I'll answer:

• a person having, thought to have, or professing superior intellect or talent, power, wealth, or membership in the upper echelons of society:
• a person who believes in the superiority of an elitist class

Now, with that answered and out of the way, let's be clear . . . We already have the tools - we're already using them - and we can do so without trying to pressure SE to officially endorse something into the game that can and will be misused by a bunch of trolls. We're making a bigger deal out of this parser subject than it already is. In fact it's no big deal at all. We already have awesome parsers out there that do the job quite well - I personally use Advanced Combat Tracker and it works beautifully.

I understand the OP asking a small question about getting a parser in-game . . . and the devs have already made their intentions not to VERY well known . . . and instead of just going "okay" and continuing to use the tools we already have, this thread is blowing the issue into some crazed controversy that makes it sound almost game breaking. It's not. We already HAVE the tools. If people can't be bothered to take 12 seconds to download and double click an icon to parse then those people are absolutely NOT serious about parsing - and are thus really just trolling SE for the sake of trolling.
