ToS: Third Party Programs and Turbo Controllers

[Delsus]

How is the parser against ToS when the only thing it does is read the logs? (Basically just a "lookup" as you stated for XIVPads/Lodestone, interested in knowing this, not flaming)

XIVpads is as I said lodestone lookups, however a parser can be made to do anything, you want it to flash up information for example when ifrit will use a tp move it can easily (for a programmer) be modified to do that.

XIVpads also isnt technically 3rd party software, it is just a script that issues lodestone lookups whereas a parser is 3rd party software that interfaces with the game, and does give information that can give you an advantage, for example you can see which weaponskill/combo does the most damage and just use that weaponskill/combo over the fight which someone without the parser doesnt know unless they work it out damage per 1000 tp. XIVpads however offers no information like this.

Would like to know which parser for XIV does that, cuz the parser I've used and seen others use just read logs and give all the info you said and doesn't actually interact with the game. o.o;

Unless I got it all wrong. @.@
