ToS: Third Party Programs and Turbo Controllers

[TheVedis]

I would really appreciate clarification from the reps regarding the following two:

•The modification, analysis, integration and reverse engineering of game data;
•The creation and diffusion of utilitarian software;

Specifically, do logs count as "game data" and does parsing them count as "analysis"? Also, what qualifies as "utilitarian software"? Would the YG Updater or the parser that generates data for XIVpads from the Lodestone pages count?

EDIT: how did this end up not replying to the thread in total? oh well.

i know that language!

basicaly what they are saying, is you cant use their source code for your own purposes, and you cant hack the game in general to do stuff to it


its not talking about 3rd party software in general, but the actual use of it to alter the game itself
