I can only voice how the impact of addons makes this game feel extremely illegitimate, and how parses are no longer a valid metric of anything meaningful anymore with the prevalence of cheaters. Every legitimate player gets a significant tax to their parse when the majority of the "elite" playerbase is abusing addons to inflate their parses. It has a really foul impact on the greater picture of performance metrics. If you respect or take parses seriously, you might as well be complicit with cheaters.

@Iyrnthota everyone knows dot uptime should be 100%, and that the gcd should be constantly rolling. If you need an external source to tell you this, you have deeper concerns.
At the end of the day, this entire discussion and situation isn't as black and white as you want it to be, no matter how much you want it to be so. I've seen some harsh opposition to add-ons and mods through the years, but you are incredibly hostile. More than most I've seen. Perhaps you should take a step back for a moment and collect yourself.
