eh, I think we've beaten this dead horse enough. It seems quite obvious you are upset over the fact that SE isn't going full nazi on their rulings. If you can't get over it, then leave... I don't see the point in complaining about it for 3 pages, when everyone has pretty much told you the same thing in about 30 different ways. If you're hoping to be the cause of the change for SE to start banning every parser in game by watching every youtube video on the internet, then good luck, but I can tell you now, it isn't going to happen.


And it'll simply cause 1 thing to happen. Parsers will still exist, they simply won't be using them to benefit any players anymore. It'll simply become a black market-esque type of thing that's used in the game between only friends. So basically, the only thing that will happen is the amount of help parsers will be able to provide will disappear and the grief tactics will continue because it's currently not allowed and still happening.

Regardless, SE can't stop them all. They will exist and will always exist. You don't have to play with people who use them. There are plenty out there who don't and plenty more who you will never even know use them because they don't care to use it for anything but their own knowledge. They don't cause you to "cheat by association" and they don't affect you unless someone is using grief tactics against you. If you go to any other mmorpg, they will exist as well. Whether or not the ToS allows it, most likely it'll be the same as here. Good luck to you either way.
