This. From what Ive heard from the people inside they wanted to be hardline on it for a few minutes but every time theyve met with the world first people they basically say without parsers it wouldnt be possible and point out in data that healer DPS is super required and SE is like no way we did it without, they call bullshit, SE says fuck, you got us.
Dont talk about your parser and you cant get in trouble, hell you can even really talk about it, its if you get reported talking about it, they have to make a stand and all you really have to say is I was just messin with them, I dont have a parser, I made a guess based on how quickly it died yada yada. They cant detect parsers at all. They can sort of detect the movement bots but legit players can have the same issue if they are having latency problems, so its a bit of a fuckup on their end. New servers might assist with that since the new datacenter should be faster and in a better location to serve the populace.
As far as addons go thats also on Sonys end, Sony wouldnt let them release an addon on PC that couldnt be on PS4/PS3, now that the PS3 is gone, they will have an option to actually move forward with addons but only if they dont cause any sort of crashing issues on the playstation end. My money says we will get some of the addon functionality built into the UI for the most wanted stuff but the chance of getting proper addons ala WoW is basically a null at this point, itll be danced around until Yoshida finally gets drunk enough in Vegas to say nah, we cant do addons bro please understand.
Im really hoping the next raid tier is better though, I had zero thoughts on wanting to do anything in 3.X as far as raiding goes but I was hype for 2.X all the time. Needs more world ending Dragons and shit.
