    The fact they don't officially support it is SE's tool to help prevent bad behavior on that matter. If someone calls you out on your poor DPS and mocks/kicks you unjustly for it, namely if they actually reveal your numbers or mention parsers, you'd have the opportunity to contact a GM about it and have this person suffer the consequences for their behavior as a result of third party programs. This is something you would NOT be able to do very easily if parsers were officially allowed. Situational mocking of someone is not an offense that violates the ToS just because you hurt someones feelings of their gameplay, afterall.

    Most people know they shouldn't but the need to stroke their e-peen can be too much to resist for some. Mind you, in most cases, the groups actual need for parsers exists in hardest areas of content does exist, so generally speaking, everyone acknowledges they need to do so much to beat it. It's generally not a big deal to expose use of parsers in those types of groups, as long as it's not negatively impacting anyone (i.e. being used to mock someone). It's still not something you should openly reveal though, given the circumstance. Not really a big deal though.
