Addons and parsing is toxic and ruin the game. SoD was fun and exciting but this Archon addon is the last straw. I parse in the high 90s for those of you that will try to make that same old you are bad argument. Blizz should just ban addons for SoD and see how it goes and possibly follow suit on all of WoW. Maybe that will help keep players from quitting.

Parsing isnt an addon.
It is now. There’s a paid AddOn to view parses and such in game and get someone’s link to Warcraft Logs.
Correct but thats not anything that isnt the same as looking you up on WCL.
Logs are literally made BY BLIZZARD.
The logs being generated are a FEATURE of the game iteself.
Externally. Not in game.
Yes they are.
Hit escape>System>Enable Advanced Combat Logging.
The gmae itself creates the log, all WCL does is change the format to be way easier to read.

oh wow had no idea -_-
In SOD its Escape>System>network>Advanced combat logging.
I believe.
World Of Warcraft LITERALLY creates the log.
A feature that yields them useful data and isn’t required in any way, shape or form by the player base, killing the access to those api’s is noce and easy, feature or not currently. 
You know, another addon that would break is SPY.
It isnt an API thing, it isnt an addon, the game itself creates the log.
You take the log the game made and upload it to WCL.
There is no addon, there is no API.
You don’t think the game uses an api or anything for the in game combat logging to function at all? Because that would what I am talking about and yes, blizzard could readily remove combat log access from players whenever they wanted to, player’s do not realistically need access to it either.
Blizzard after 20 years though have been too lazy to work on improving telegraphing for a lot of things and adding a proper, half way decent threat meter ingame.
Players don’t need to see the log beyond SCT on their screen.
It is a fixable situation, wether or not the multi billion dollar “small indie company” does anything is another story.
Oh im not arguing that.
Blizzard can remove anything they dont want, my stance was that logs arent an addon.
People dont know how logs work, they dont understand blizzard is literally making the log, just like the guy above had no idea.
This has been in the game for years. Why is it only an issue now that very few players have the convenience of seeing it in game rather than looking it up?
Yeah their acting like theirs a difference.
Its saving them 15 seconds and making the rejection or invite faster.
Personally, idgaf, but clearly a portion of people do, so why not engage withem rather than be an a$$ about it
Drink I swear you’re a professional blogger.
I personally don’t care about people’s parses, but I have a message to the anti-parsing crowd:
Stop. Seek help. You’re embarrassing yourself.
If someone wants to parse, and they only want to play with other people with good parses, guess what? They should be able to. It’s no big deal. Go about your life.
I have no problem with the existence of addons or the built in logging function or even WCL site. However this addon in particular is toxic to the community and should be outlawed.
