Why can't we have the ability to create accurate Parser?

Oh btw SE has banned players for admitting the use of a Parser, since it is against the TOS.

To the best of my knowledge SE cannot detect that you are using one, but if you come forth and say you do use one, they can, and probably will ban you.

Which is a reason why I don't use any kind of Parser, too much time spent on building my Character to afford a ban.

Also check out this Reddit post, be very careful when you are talking about Parser.

While parser give good technical information, the main reason I think why they're disallowed is for community relationships. It will just be a non-stop battle of DPS counting and elitism.

Correction - FFXIVAPP, not the parser part of it. As much as we want to feign ignorance, you do realize XIVAPP can do much, much more than just parse, right? People used the Japanese one since Beta P1 and never gotten banned for it because the Japanese one doesn't allow plugins to give you huge advantages in the game ("unofficial" ones people used not offered by the site.)

People who use parsers to harass other players are why it got attention because of the admittance of using a 3rd party app, not the fact it was 'just a parser'.
