It also can't give you a accurate representation of differen't meld builds since it is incapable of tracking crits and damage modifiers, all of which a parser is capable of doing. I also never stated it prevented me from doing anything, just that i enjoy having a visual gauge of how im doing in comparison to others and what i can adjust to improve, that's it. Your apprehensiveness towards them seems to stem from some irrational level of fear of people constantly griefing you if SE was to implement their own parser, which is nothing more than conjecture. Even mmo's with their own parsers don't display the level of griefing that people assume would happen if FFXIV got it's own parsing tool. Cheers.
