It's official Parsers are illegal in FFXIV

And my argument is that a PARSER doesn't do anything but PARSING. Which is what your brain has to be doing to even play.

All a parser does is put the data we already interpret with our eyes and our brain into a simple numerical representation.

It just removes the "ball park" estimation our brains use to compensate.

Parsers also allow you to see what damage other people have done, which is not what they want (so there is less conflict within parties).
That is why they don't allow parsers.
