    I am a programmer, and parsing is basically just adding up damage numbers from the log then dividing by time (simplified). It's trivial. ACT already does it successfully and it's developers are 3rd party with barely any access to game resources. No, their decision has nothing to do with the complexity of implementing a parser.
