Third party tools are a game design failing in a multi-platform game

[JudgeRAW]

Its crazy to me that there are people in this thread attacking WoW's privacy settings when just recently Yoshida said he didn't want to "hurt people's feelings" by having them forcibly remove another person from their friends list or having their marriage ring become unusable. The issues with stalking and harassment in this game have been brought up time and again and people just brush it off likes it not a big deal. Really? Thats the hill people want to die on? As for the argument about parsers leading to bullying and harassment the ToS itself deals with that, regardless of context. You can't do it, if you do you get banned regardless if its because of parsing or some other reason. I've never even heard of someone other than some streamers doing it even though a large portion of the community definitely uses parsers, especially in raid content. Not to mention that a lot of people want to play the game at the highest level possible because they want to be the best. And there is nothing wrong with that. Parsers give them a reference point for improving their gameplay if its needed. Thats it.

Also, UI mods have absolutely no impact on another person's game, at all period. So why does anyone care that another person is using them? If everyone was forced to have the same experience regardless of platform this game would be DEAD on PC(and probably in general) because we'd have been stuck with PS3 level performance. Its a ridiculous argument.
