It is not defamation. A key requirement of defamation is that the accusation be false.
That is why I posted a link to the source of the information that I have that states that XIVPVP is a Network Monitoring tool.
The maker of XIVPVP said it not me. So it is not defamation to say xivpvp is a network monitoring tool. On the other hand it is defamation to say I am defaming XIVPVP.
I quoted 3 different Terms and Agreements for ffxiv and related services that clearly states use of network monitoring software and analyzing data from the game and sites content is a violation of your agreement with SE.
XIVPVP defines itself as a network monitoring program and site that analyzes data directly from the games network traffic. Follow simple logic every 5th grader should know and you find that xivpvp client use is prohibited with FFXIV.
Transitive Property
If A = B and B = C then A = C
Addition property of equality
If A = B then A + C = B + C.
Facts:
XIVPVP client = Network monitoring software
Prohibited activity = Use of Network monitoring software
Here is the math:
The supporting information to each of the 2 facts above have been posted as quotes in previous posts.Start by using the addition property of equality
Add "Use of" to each side of "XIVPVP client = Network monitoring software" equation
and you get
"Use of XIVPVP client = Use of Network monitoring software"
now both facts above have the same statement "Use of Network monitoring software"
"Use of XIVPVP client = Use of Network monitoring software"
AND
"Use of Network monitoring software = Prohibited activity"
So we can use the Transitive Property
Use of XIVPVP client = Prohibited activity

Ron Hankin, Navigating the Legal Minefield of Private Investigations: A Career-Saving Guide for Private Investigators, Detectives, And Security Police, Looseleaf Law Publications, 2008, p. 59:
There are five essential elements to defamation: (1) The accusation is false; and (2) it impeaches the subject's character; and (3) it is published to a third person; and (4) it damages the reputation of the subject; and (5) that the accusation is done intentionally or with fault such as wanton disregard of facts.
