I made a P99 DPS calculator for melee classes based on EQEMU code

They can check the data you sent up to the server too. For example, let's say you made a physical machine that hits a key every 0.5 seconds. That consistency would show up in the data.

So? That wouldn't be disallowed and can be quickly proven on video that it's not a program interacting with the game code. I've literally done that before in another game, weighing down one of the keys on my keyboard because it was beneficial to keep it pressed at all times.

I don’t care what a level 45 ranger or warrior parses, nor should anyone

Anyone who is level 45 should care. The game is played at all levels and getting to Level 60 is always a time expenditure. Anything you can do to save time and allow your character to farm better along the way is a benefit. Plus you can set records for accomplishing certain challenges at the lowest level possible, if that's something of interest.

So a swing timer of 2.8-4 seconds to de-equip a 2h, swap in an offhand (can’t hover swap since different slot), swap offhand out to bag or open slot, swap in 2h again.

Your open bag slot on screen should be right next to the weapon slots. You don't have to move the mouse hardly any distance. Having 2.8 seconds is sufficient, that's actually the exact amount of time I was working with when I did it back in the day, with a 48 delay weapon and 71% haste (Celerity + FBSS). With 4 seconds it's not even a question, mechanically.

i think this guy just likes making it known that he knows how to theoretically do the best dps but has never actually played that way

The banned person who never played classic EQ or seemingly any real competitive game at a relevant level is wasting space again. What a surprise. I did this for many, many hours during Classic, leveling my friend's Warrior up for him. And I learned about it specifically from watching others do it and discuss it in 1999. The difference between Warriors who weapon swapped or not during that era was always something that could be immediately felt in groups. We didn't allow any Warriors into our guild who weren't doing it, after we told them the trick and tested them in groups.
