    How is it only a potential when it still exists even now even with the restriction? You've even said that it is more upfront in WoW, so we have evidence that it's not just a potential danger, but a real one that exists to a degree in this game and more openly in other games.

    As you said we already have toxic behavior in this game without parsing both of the elitist jerks side of things and the hyper causal side of things. So if we already have a form of toxicity and depending on who ask the degree of severity would differ.

    So how are we to know parsing would make it worse? We may have an idea based around other games but this game is still considered one of the nicer communities despite the the flaws in the community would parsing in itself tilt the scales so far that it afters the community to such an extent? We really cannot say.

    Also some could even say we have toxic behavior in the game regarding how people play be it pull size or lack of dmg while healing, not maximizing burst windows all of which we really do not need a parser for. So what harm can parsing really cause at this point?

    In the end SE can try to police but things will always leak through so enforcement of what they view as toxic behavior seems like a better use of time instead of trying to prevent the behavior ( and depending who you ask not doing a great job at it ) by limiting the access to a tool that could help players improve.
