FFXIV: Endgame as it is now and what it once was, how do you feel?

[KisaiTenshi]

I do think it is high time SE looked at implementing an official in-game parser though (that they have full control over), and outright banning third-party parsers (and by extension FFlogs) ... I mean parsers are useful (even in individual runs), are already widely used, and do give an advantage; so why are they restricted to only a portion of the player base (i.e. PC players) and officially allowed to be used even for such things (which could be considered cheats) as call-outs* when they aren't officially supported?

* World first UCoB clear has (or had at the time) call-outs in their video and (AFAIK) SE said nothing.

That's what the Duty Recorder is, they just fumbled it so it doesn't do what players want it for. People use third party tools to grief other players, thus those players leave the game and don't come back.
