DPS Parser - ToS Violation?

[AkikoPanda1]

I read somewhere that a DPS parser IS against ToS because the terms explicitly state that mining or manipulation of game data is forbidden. (I don't remember the exact wording, though.)

A parser does not data mine game files nor modifies them, it just "Parses" (hence the name) the text log files that are stored on your "my games" folder, this are text files that store everything that appears on your logs. So every time yo do a weapon skill an it appear on your log window, will also be read by the parser and that´s how it works.
