WCL should be anonymizing its data in the first place. You shouldn’t be able to link a parse to a character name at all unless it’s your character.
Nope, naming and shaming is the most important part!
Ban the addon. It’s against ToS anyway. This should be a no brainer.
You made zero points that anyone cares about in your reply to the OP. No one cares how much money or time it took to make the add-on and keeping it functional.
The OP said it is ruining the game, and that is undeniable. You wanna gatekeep, do it in a version of the game where it makes sense, cata, or retail, they have pay to win mechanics so it somewhat makes sense, not so much in SOD.
I will wait for the free version, what exactly is the power advantage over other players??
You can literally take 5 seconds to look up anyone applying to your group…
I don’t have a WCL sub so I’m not testing the addon.
Once again Jack the grey opens his mouth and spews more lies.

Blizz can choose whether or not to enforce the ToS. More importantly, nobody’s problem is really with the fee… it’s such a bad argument for why this addon should be banned. It’s just the low hanging fruit that people already know is against ToS.
This is the part of the ToS that really should be part of the conversation:
Add-ons must not negatively impact World of Warcraft realms or other players.
Add-ons will perform no function which, in Blizzard Entertainment’s sole discretion, negatively impacts the performance of the World of Warcraft realms or otherwise negatively affects the game for other players. For example, this includes but is not limited to excessive use of the chat system, unnecessary loading from the hard disk, and slow frame rates.
I legit never interact with this apparent rabid parse culture gatekeeping except for on the forums.
I don’t parse, my SoD logs are probably all trash. Doesn’t matter. Stop being bothered by how others play the game. Parsing only matters if you care about it. If you get denied for a parse, boohoo and move to the next pug.
no no offense but addons are legit the same as PEDs idk if you get it or not tho im well versed in both subjects
I can do the same dps with or without addons.
My addons just do things lke highlight when a boss is using a mechanic, this is already available in game but the addon makes the alert bigger.
It’s just more information, its all they’re allowed to do, they cannot interact with the game for you at all.
pve addons are big too but thats not what im talking about. 99% of players would have a much difficult time doing any pve related content especially mythic raid on retail without addons.
in pvp, theyre simply to defining
like just 1 example is a DR tracker. is MASSIVE above 2.4 mmr
Should have already been banned it’s against tos
Banning it won’t stop players from checking your parses. You’re still not going to get to play with the big boys unless you do the tedium they do. 
If you’re excluded out of a group for parses and if parses were removed entirely they would find a different reason to exclude you. Or we can just go back in time and you can be kicked mid run for racing the tank in damage. Just like 2005!
DR tracking is just another example of in game information being displayed in a clearer way.
it does not CHANGE anything about your character or abilities, it is simply allowing you to be aware of something that is already happening WITHOUT the addon.
You can track this exact information in your head, it would be easier if blizzard decided to display such information in the default UI, but they chose not to.
they squashd that in ph1 they’ll do it again
What did they squash in P1?
this exact same addon
the makers of the addon charge gold for something that gives players an in game advantage
it doesnt matter if it takes 1 second or 1 hour less time. its is more convenient and in game advantage in that it makes it easier to evaluate other players perform when assembling a group.
that advantage is presently only available to people that pay real money for it.
But i know you wouldnt understand since you do not have the slightest idea about ethics and how RMT impacts the game.
Who is “they” ?
Are you sure you’re not getting confused with WCL themselves ‘squashing’ a 3rd party addon that was aggressively scraping their website?
What advantage is gained?
The exact same information is available fully public and free to literally the entire world, even people who are not logged into the game.
My advantage is i have good logs.
Sorry you wont be picked up for anything and youre going to be exposed by the addon.
