Haaayaa... they do say ignorance is bliss after all.

That is the final result which you can reverse engineer. The final result is a combination of the buffs: Mits (class abilities: ex Kerakole, Temperance) + Role mits (faint, reprisal.. etc) + armor (which will provide a final % reduction). Every spell/ ability.. etc that you do is also telegraphed in the battle log as well. Plus, how do you think they calculate those numbers? They don't magically appear or they are godsent or something.

Also how do you think SE designs fights? They also have a similar tool that simulates results.

If you want to argue that is an unfair advantage because it provides an accessible result and breakdown then I would agree because doing everything manually would be a significant time sink to obtain the same result.

But ACT is a collection tool and FFlogs interprets the data, nothing else. Also, I believe ACT originally was done for Everquest then Ravahn expanded it with his team. (side fact , not related to discussion but worth being mentioned)

That’s been my argument the entire time. That ACT while an advantage isn’t a problem because it simply presents the battle log in a usable format

You can’t expect almost anyone to actually manually do what ACT does behind the scenes besides whole everything is there in game the battle log is pointlessly opaque
