They've necro'ed 2019, 2017, and 2015 thread. I'm surprised they didn't necro a 2013 next! (is there even one? lmao)

There you go.

Is FFLOGS illegal ? NO
Is ACT illegal ? NO
BECAUSE for something to be illegal it needs to break a LAW not a contract. We all have a contract which says no 3rd party tool and this can be in violation but is FFLOG in violation of this ?
NO, it is not because FFLOGs do not use the Tool. The player use this tool but even then the tool takes the data we are given already.

The only thing SE could ask and this would be pathetic, to aks to change certain symbols. Thats it. Numbers are not worthy of protection under copyright law and to answer the last question ? No you cant DMCA FFLOGS.
SE took the Youtube vidoes down under the assumption that there is no transformation of content - i cant evaluate on that, never saw the video but some people should really read more (especially the definition of illegal).

IS ACT bad or evil ? No. Does ACT make you win or "training wheel" fights ? No, how do you come to this conclusion ? I use tools all the time since the begining of raiding to remember timed things or Boss HP related things.. is my windows alarm clock also "illegal" (stop using that word)
or my post-it on my monitor or our DNC that makes call outs because the rotation is very easy - all "illegal" now. Call the police, the army even the navy these people need some beating. (/s)

Okay for real, i read a lot of opinions based on rumors and lies : ACT will not give you some miracle powers, skills or knowledge - you need to get the skills and knowledege or you will not beat any fight. This was an rant. Thank you for reading.

Yeah, it's a ridiculous assertion. Uploading a file that the game creates on your hard drive isn't "illegal." Also, SE doesn't care about parsing.

This site breeds toxic communities like The Balance and elitists mindsets. It also uses job and ability symbols ripped from the game files and profits on SE copyrighted content through advertising. It's also constantly used to name and shame players. Use of the website also requires use of third party tools that break the games ToS. What's worst is that one must make an account and forcibly opt out in order to be excluded from the site.

SE, please take advantage of the site owner's legal liability and force him to immediately take down his toxic website. It is an affront to everything stood for in this great community

yes please
