Would you like an in-game parser?

[Kaurie]

Oh I fully read your post. "The closest thing to an official parser is already in game." means exactly what it means. Something that messures your dps output. Stop being obtuse. SSS is exactly that. Something you can do in game to find out if you have enough dps for a particular encounter.

As for the dev's stance: No they have not said mixed things. They do not want them. They turn a blind eye to them if you don't use them for harassment purposes. However, they will not ever officially endorse or code one in the game.

You seem unnecessarily angry. I am sorry that I have provoked you.

SSS is not the closest thing to an official parser. I feel like that is a weird measure, as what does 'closest thing to an official parser' mean? I'd say the closest thing to an official parser would be an official parser. After that, it's fairly unclear what that would include. I'd argue that posting everyones numbers at the end of an encounter (like on PvP) is closer to a parser than SSS. I'd argue that having your numbers posted in SSS would be closer than current SSS. I'd argue that having the total hitpoints of the SSS dummy be displayed in-game would be cloesr to an official parser than current SSS.

I have read mixed responses on the matter of add-on support and parsers from various interviews.
