DPS Parser - ToS Violation?

[KisaiTenshi]

It is definitely not against the ToS. The line of the ToS that was quoted was referring to data mining, which has nothing at all to do with parsers. Parsers don't hook into anything, they just literally parse the text logs. If you would rather read the logs and do all the math yourself, then go for it, but just know that is exactly what parser does.

There is actually a text log the game stores in the savegame directories (along with screenshots) I don't know if the tool is actually reading this or the game memory, but the latter is certainly violating the ToS.

Actually I think ffxiv parsers need to create their own logs (I know for a fact that at least one does). This is because the ffxiv logs do not contain timestamps. Without time you cannot calculate dps.

Actually I'm pretty sure it does have a timestamp, it's just not a clock format

Notice the increment hex value if you ignore the last two bytes. 52 56 D6 02 122E, these were 4 consecutive actions in between what I can only guess is markup the game understands. Upon checking a log file from another day I'm pretty certain the format is MM DD mm ss msns or something.
