In regards to ACT and parsing itself, it wasnt a huge offense because at it's core it just takes numbers and information out of the available combat log and displays them for you and that the issue there isnt the parser itself, its the harassment that ensues (though I think that his opinion, while well intentioned, is a bit misguided but I digress). If anything, didnt he say something along the lines of "Stop being so overt about using parsers in streams and such"?
    You're right, but even parsers are not in the clear, just in the gray area where the official stance is they still don't want you to use it and refuses to have an official parser built into the game.

    But yes, tools that go beyond parsing public data and into manipulating data is the real concern and will have more severe punishment if you get caught using it, or so they claim.
