It's official Parsers are illegal in FFXIV

[HollowedDoll]

administrator privileges on your machine so that it can sniff your packets in real time.

oh no, anyway.

The tinfoil hat conspiracies replies in this thread is hilarious.

[Neoyoshi]

What... the heck happened to this thread? xD

Also, i see we are playing fast and lose with Necromancy again.

Saying that ACT is sniffing account data is like to say that vaccines cause autism.

[Larirawiel]

Just don’t talk about it. ACT has been around for a very very long time. If they were taking people’s info without permission and using it incorrectly it would had gone POOF long ago.

Ehhhm, no one says that ACT takes informations without permission. But how ACT works it is able to do that and no one would notice it until it is too late. You have to hope that the ACT authors will always be trustworthly.

You remind me of all those players that think they are playing well because they’ve convinced themselves they are.

And that’s fine. Completely fine. It’s when you try to interject yourself into content you have no place being in.

The harder encounters(or all really) are based around do “X” amount of damage to kill. If you’re totally ok being oblivious then that’s cool find others like that.

If you’re not going to be an A-hole then it’s perfectly ok to see where you stand and push yourself to be better.

Aren't you totally ok being oblivious to your own ignorance as well? If blablabla then blablabla. You don't know what ACT is actually doing yet you pretend to know. ACT is not safe don't lie to yourself. Just because no one has been caught taking advantage of the endless permissions people willingly give to the app while installing it, all of a sudden they think it is OK. As OK as downloading pirated software.

A fallacy. At best the ones who figured it out would want to be part of the scheme as well. They gain nothing by protecting edgy man-children like you from having their data stolen.

Probably been asked in this 37 page thread but what are parsers?

The repositories for both act and the parsing plugin are both public.
If you are are oh so concerned about data sniffing, you can check the code by yourself.
But we both know you won't do it

[Endariel]

Also, to add a little more.
I personally believe in an open source project more (even if it asks for admin perms) than a product from a private company.
Because in the former case you have a huge community to monitor the final code. Private products on the other hand will deliver only the complied packages. And it's exponentially harder to reverse engineer as well as check any malicious activies than inspect the source code

In this case you have to inspect the source code and then build the binaries by yourself. The binaries you can download can not be trusted because they can contain some other functionality that is not in the public source code.


And no, this is not a tinfoil hat thing, it happened in the past:
