FFXIV: Cheat 2 Win - The New Norm?

[Pyreflye]

The game released with TOS saying all third party software was prohibited, so it doesn't matter what time frame it was, if you used it in this game, it was against TOS. Saying you didn't use it after the official announcement means nothing, it was against the rules before and after anyone said anything about them.

Wrong.
Yoshi himself said that parsing software was 100% A-OK.

It was only until recently (a couple of months) where they were explicitly stated as banned.

Talk it up all you want, mate.

No he didn't - He said if you're using it don't mention it since he knows regardless people will use it and it is 100% punishable if you're using a parser to harass other players. This was said even prior to launch.

The announcement of parsers being officially banned was on 03/04/2014.
Prior to this date, parsers were widely used, and always considered to be fine to use

Well, if I get banned, I get banned.

All that will happen is that SE loses a subscriber, I'm not going to cry over not being able to play a video game.

Not going to resubscribe if I get banned for using a parser on a Striking Dummy for 5 minutes to compare my DPS to other DRGs at my ilvl.

All it will mean is that I know who in the community is an absolute bellend for reporting me.

All it means is that you disobeyed the ToS.

Nothing more, friend.
