Can we use ACT to recognize who is griefing the party and report them afterwards?

[Artemiz]

So which is it? That we can use ACT but not lord it over people or you flat out just can't use it. Because I swear I've seen both arguments a thousand times over on the forums and in game.

Official line is its banned, its just everyone knows nothing will happen if you use it and keep it to yourself.

I say give it a try. All those people saying no probably don't meld materia to their level 80 gear.

Can you steal a gun and kill a bank robber and not get charged with stealing the gun?

SE is not afraid of the "harassment" official parsers would bring, as ToS would still apply. What they fear is the playerbase finding out how inadequate they are. The illusion would crack when they are faced with their own failures.

Players would rather quit than improve.

If only ACT, or a SE made alternative, was made official I could see this great community imploding over the mountain of inadequacies they would be forced to face.

Will. not. happen.

you flat out cannot use it without risking a ban it's just that the game master has not reached you yet to yell "stop right there criminal scum you have violated the tos" and issued a perma ban

gaming is a privilege not a right obey the terms of service

[ZedxKayn]

What they fear is the kind of vicious, malicious misuse and abuse it brings. The parser CAN be a tool if used properly, the problem is it is MISUSED badly and ALL THE TIME.

Three examples from that stellar MMO that uses parsers

"We need a trial to get this boss down and see if you can make the raid team. Master loot." so the encounter ends, said "trial" does extremely well, is denied any loot AT ALL, even when they win the roll for an item "XYZ did more dps than you anyway so they deserve it more"

So said person leaves the instance, not only empty handed but CHEATED od a mount or item

... Do you do savage to imagine such a ridiculous scenario?
