Why people still USE ACT knowing their breaking TOS ??

[Melichoir]

This is vague enough to possibly find a loophole for ACT since it only reads the incoming packets and some information temporarily stored locally in RAM and doesn't read anything from the software that is installed on your computer nor does it directly read the data on the server. This loophole might be argued away by noting that while ACT doesn't read directly from the server, it is collecting information that is otherwise maintained on the server. Note that it is absolutely not against the user agreement to do something like write it down or input the information into a spreadsheet. It is not collecting or utilizing the information for analysis that is against terms of service, it is using a software program to collect it.

I think youre probably looking at this inverted. It's not that ACT finds a loophole in the ToS, its that the ToS is written specifically to allow said loophole by being vague and broad.

What I think people dont understand is that just because it's in the ToS doesnt mean that SE has to enforce it. It is their contract and they can choose to ignore or enforce parts of it as they see fit. This is, from a purely business and legal standpoint, ideal because it means they can allow for things that are a net positive to the player base but still have the means to address problems that crop up. So in this specific case, having a parser is going to be a net positive for Savage and Ultimate content and optimizing play for the player base, but they still have the wiggle room to punish players who abuse Parser information to berate or belittle players who may or may not be to concerned with optimal play.

To address a point that is constantly brought up:

No, it is not a violation of your privacy to have your combat data recorded by someone else. The simple truth is if the in-game combat log can pick it up, it is 'public' information within the context of the game. You have no recourse to prevent my combat log from displaying what you do in a trial. All parsers do (like ACT) is just translate combat data information into a more accessible format, but all the data you find on ACT can be put together via the combat log. So I can find out your DPS by painstakingly adding up the damage you do and doing the math. Youre not being 'snooped' upon because the information is out there in the air as long as we're together in a combat situation.
