I voiced my concerns initially for the potential toxic atmosphere a DPS parser could create. For PSO2's community however, it felt like it barely made any impact on it though so for my 2 cents I don't really get why they went after this with such gusto.
PSO2 is a game:
- designed to run on old computers, but framerate constantly dips even on modern rigs;
- with focus on socialization, but block system doesn't allow you to unite with your friends for EQs;
- that tries to be friendly to casual players, but constantly adds new confusing systems that casuals don't want to bother with;
- (and now) that forces you to cooperate with random people, but shames you for wanting better cooperation.
Sure, elitism is an issue, but this isn't how you get rid of it. Wanting to improve, wanting others to cooperate and expecting rewards for your efforts is not elitism, this is common fucking sense.
Sega need add ranking system like in MBD to all EQ,AQ,LQ

Today, I released a new version of OverParse that should hopefully warn as many players as possible about the situation. For now, OverParse will be in a development freeze, only updated for bugfixes. If you continue to use it, you do so at your own risk (like always).
I wrote some stuff about the situation on the GitHub release page, if anyone's interested in my sparse impressions of the situation. I won't repost it here because it's kind of a wall.

How am I supposed to see if I'm topping DPS with my HuFo Vol Graptor Ilbarta Combos? DansGame
true overparser can help you maximize your dmg. I used to be on top place for PD everytime since barantsion and ilbarta and equips are good. With the new PD i was kinda shocked seeing myself be 4th place or so. I didnt read up anything about the changes like that ilbarta is now nerfed and so i just went into it like i usually do and it sucked ofc. After the EQ i went through the log and checked on wth is going on and adjusted accordingly. After giving it some thoughts about the changes i was first again the second time i played it. And for the third run im going to experiment with something different now and dropping ice skill tree entirely and switching to fire for fomelgion and using nemesis talis which is fire to rafoie the last bits of double when it wont stop moving anymore. idk, ill have to see how that works out and the log from overparser will help me for that.
About sega, they probably dont want additional unwanted/unnecessary competition and no third party tools like this, so they ban it. Personally as much as i like this im gonna respect that and wont use it anymore.
Most people are not willing to teach, help, or explain the system... which is why people complained and there are newb videos about how to play, as well as videos on how to play Tower Defense IV which are official. When people begin to speak about the right to privacy, I wonder if people have become so absorbed in a game that they are willing to speak about civil rights and liberties within the context of a game over actually speaking out to the level of tyranny and oppression that exists in the real world.
The MPAs are so easy that if there is something that the parser taught anyone is that one really only needs one good Damage Dealer to carry everyone else in those level 75 LQs. Also, most BOSS MPAs is usually around 2 - 3 people dealing most of the damage to the boss. In short... As long as PSO-2 is a casual based game... there will always be casual-elites ready to carry everyone else.

Create more room for new casul fella.
Seriously though, the new guys will have hard time mingling around with old-timer simply because of the toxic behavior, maybe this'll reduce the heat.
Parser are good for self-audit though it's more than often used improperly.
