Is WTFast against ToS?

[darkstarpoet1]

Parsers directly read the battle logs and memory dumps from FFXIV battle encounters which is seen by the development team as an unfair advantage as not all players have access to it.
So yes, it doesn't alter the data but it is reading it, which is against their terms of service against third party applications.

(Fixing your awful internet connection through any of these 3rd party programmes isn't an unfair advantage)

Arguing otherwise is silly.

i know what you are saying and like i said earlier i do not see it as wrong to use programs such as wtfast. what i am saying is i do not see how knowing what your dps is gives any advantage at all over another player, but i can see how the paid tunneling service will. look at the example below to see what i am talking about.

let's take next door neighbors on the exact same internet provider. in this example both are always getting hit by stuff before it shows and their dps is quite low for both players.

step 1. give one a parser and not give it to the other and send them into an encounter and see if it helps them win. do you think the one with a parser is going to do better dps just because it tells them how much they are doing?

step 2. now give one them a paid tunneling service like wtfast and do not give it to the other. do you think the one with the tunneling service will dodge more of the attacks then it did before?

the answer to step 1 will be no and step 2 will be yes. one is a free program and one is paid. which gives an advantage over the player that lives next door with the same internet provider? that was my only point is i do not see how one is not allowed and one is. personally, i think they both should be allowed.
