oh cmon. Look at a YouTube video with anyone with ACT. People can place it anywhere, often see it in the bottom right. I'd envision an optional window you can place it anywhere you want or close completely. People fit in ACT's overlays with no problem usually where blank space was prior. This could be the exact same. Frankly, what they implement should be as close to the functionality of ACT as possible - anything less would still have peeps using ACT. And the whole point is to give player who want it the benefit of ACT like info without being forced to utilize a 3rd party tool.

This thread is 79 pages long now. It's clear that some people don't see the benefit and wouldn't use a parser, and some people really enjoy it and enhances their gameplay. The problem is that people who don't personally find it useful also think it shouldn't be in the game, and that's bull. The game is played by a lot of people with diverse interests and opinions. The fact that this thread has become so long is proof that there is some interest, and that's all there needs to be. Because people who don't want it don't need to open it. And the players who do can.

If the Gold Saucer and minions didn't exist. If they never came out with glamour egis, if you couldn't glamour or dye the gear you are wearing - my overall gameplay experience would remain unchanged. I don't care about those things. But that doesn't mean they should not be in the game - because it's obvious some people do enjoy them. Same thing here - whether any one individual feels they would enjoy them is irrelevant. They don't have to use it once it's here. But the length of this thread, popularity of ACT and explosion of fflogs is proof that enough people do enjoy them that SE should probably accommodate.
