about the ToS and parsing

[AsteriaStarfall]

No. You never need to find out who's pulling their weight, because that's completely irrelevant. Neither winning nor losing a fight are ever a problem. You're allowed to lose fights. You're not allowed to use third party programs to access information you're not supposed to have. Not being good enough to win legitimately doesn't give you the right to cheat.

I'm giving an example of why they should be allowed in the game. I'm not saying go use them to cheat, it is meant to say. "Hey SE, this is why you should allow them"

I'm going to use made up and simple numbers here for an example:
DPS check needed to clear the fight 2k per second from entire raid dps group

Let's say there are 10 DPS

9 dps are doing 2k/second
1 dps is doing 1.5k/second

Now do the simple math: Does ((2000 x 9) + 1500) / 10 = 2000?
Answer: No it does not.

Now, how are you going to help that one dps out if he and the rest do not know the numbers? How do you tell where to start helping?
More importantly how do you even clear it since you don't know where to start with the advice?

Simple, how you clear it now, is simply overgear for it, and then go back when things are easier, instead of the challenge it was.

Folks, what it boils down to is that as of right now, parsers are not allowed. That is fine. But at least get the points across to why they should or should not be allowed.
That is what all of my posts have been for, the reasons why they should be allowed. Take it however you wish, some of you want to so quickly point fingers saying "That person right there must parse because they want to use them"
Have never once run a parser in this game, however after trying some of the savage and extreme fights, it would be great if you could use them, especially with FC members to HELP each other out.

The tool is only as good as the player using it.

Before the nonsense that was Savage Alexander came to be, most fights were balanced in such a way that the most surefire way of beating enrage was to do mechanics correctly.

However if the fights like Alex savage are the way SE will be going with the fights, then either something needs to be there to help in game, or allow the dps parser That ultimately is my point.
