Please implement a parser to increase AST performance

When suggesting something, something that should always be thought about is "How will players abuse this?"

The answer is simple: Everything can be abused: it's not our fault if we can find ways to exploit the mechanics of something. It's SE's job to make it work properly without being potentially abusive.

In another thread about the parser, I said that thinking how something can be potentially abusive won't improve the game: people already do their worst on this matter. And I'm sorry but in order to improve your game experience you HAVE to take risks, you HAVE to try it out before even saying "It will be abused".

....and even then you'll still find people who will most likely abuse anyway. Should we get everything removed because it can be potentially abused?

An example? Item level. You gotta have X amount of ilvl to enter said dungeons or said raid. Your dps might be bad but hey, as long as you're full 230 it doesn't matter: you are, by Item level standards, superior to that 200 dps who can dish out the same dps as you do. That's not what item level is for but yet, it's abused.

The recent SSS addition: I saw messages of people requiring you to beat "Insert boss" dummy in order to beat it. And even then, you might not have the required Item level because "you might be bad", yet you can beat the dummy just fine (heck maybe the 230 can't even do it). Still, no can do: you didn't kill the dummy so you're out, which it's not its original intentions.

Housing can be abused: the way they implemented the private housing, it's not a surprise if people will jump on it. The idea was simple and definitely worth applying, but it was abused because of "noticeable gaps" and flaws in planning. I like that they at least experimented with it but still, it's a victim of abuse.

Trading can be abused: just trade whenever someone is teleporting, and they won't be able to move. That's abuse to my eyes since...you know, you can't even teleport!

Being able to queue in group for most roulettes: it can potentially be abused by making a 3-player group kick the 4th one, and let him jump in. I'm glad this is now a thing because now I can play with my friends. And no, I don't abuse this system but hey, it can be abused...but I'm sure you don't see many abusing it right?

And my favourite of all: chat box can be abused....just spam by copying and pasting something and voila, you're abusing the chat box! Sure this was changed and whenever you talk too often (even normally), you'll see a message in red. But still it can be abused despite the modification. I'm sure you know of swearing and bad languages...oh but there's blacklist!

Still, the same person can go on alt and continue doing the same...is even alt making abused?

There are dozens, if not hundreds of things that can be abused, but saying it won't make the game better. SE should try to put it in, see how it works out and, if the situation becomes bad, they can always remove it. Saying that it can be abused won't save us from abuse: we ALREADY have abusive players, we ALWAYS had them, we will ALWAYS have them.

Parser isn't going to be the first, nor the last thing being victim of abuse.
