so is voip, so is fraps, should those be banned as well and those that use them be persecuted? Hundreds if not thousands of people use a parser which has absolutely zero affect on game play
"Your" not "you", and yes, it's OUTSIDE of the game, and isn't giving me the upper hand in anyway.
2nd, the people who made the program got approval, which I'm sure programs like parser and FFXIVmodelviewer etc. didn't (let alone SE's huge cease and desist orders flying around 2 years back against those programs, yet the programmers who got slapped with them put them right back up.)

Thing is, they technically can ban you for using fraps or even a macro keyboard -- but will they? No. The ironic thing about "Parsers have zero effect on gameplay is" people tend to use parser and gearscore type things to exclude players, rather than using it to help them, so it doesn't give you an advantage, but it sure can hurt someone's playtime by excluding them if they don't "outparse" someone else.

that's a whole different subject about the community probably best discussed elsewhere.
I think the point is: You use the same name as an old linkshell that has a bad reputation (and share a few members from that time) you're going to share their reputation. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's hard to avoid it.
It's like naming your linkshell "Dragon Quest" and then claim that none of you are fans of the series or even played it. It can be true. Maybe you just thought the name sounded cool. Maybe the old members were actually Dragon Quest fans but aren't on the shell anymore, and the new ones really had nothing to do with that.
Regardless, if I see someone on that linkshell, I'd assume they are Dragon Quest fans. It's a logical association.
