I just wanted to point out a double standard...

*Parsers won't be implemented now or in the near-future and that's pretty much all I need to be satisfied.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Square-Enix allegedly in the finishing stages of implementing the Add-On Feature for this game that will allow people to write their own add-ons for the game?

If true then Parsers would at that time arguably become Legal in the form of an add-on that utilizes Square-Enix's Add-On features. So saying that it won't be implemented in the near future kind of depends on how near in the future the Add-On feature will be implemented, doesn't it?

Very well you got me there. But it brings me back to my original point then. Prove that im not just looking at the combat log and dot ticks and saying that your dps is 200=)

And how would you be looking at my (I'm a Summoner) DoT ticks when your Combat Log (much less mine) doesn't record them in the first place. It's impossible to look at something that doesn't exist.

Except they've always hinted that the add-ons would be UI modifications. They've not stated anything beyond that.

You can see another player's on screen damage amounts. Not easy, especially with 8 man parties, but it's there.
