Question about FFLogs

[Zekrin]

Hi~I'm a new player of FF14 & 1st post here.

The question is... I just found ACT & FFlogs last week, I'm a little confused about the FFlogs...
Isn't that webside kind of illegal or something like violating in-game privicy policy?

I mean...lots of logs been update there but most(or some) of them didn't get permission from the player who created the logs, right?
Some of these players don't even own a FFlogs account.

And more, the wedsite requires a player to create an account, upload your log, then you finally can choose NOT to show all your logs to everyone on the internet.

It seems like some "Force" to me, something like "You must use our service to protect your privacy", I don't know it just me(feeling WTF?!) or...

Just want to know how everyone think/feel about the FFlogs, not to bully or condemn the users.
