If you don't like being target for violating TOS...how about don't violate the TOS?

This is why you read the Terms of Service before you accept them.

People accepted that third-party tools were strictly prohibited, and has always been the emphasis to use them at your own risk and discretion.

The use of "strictly" is very arguable.

I say this if they made a better UI, made the graphics better, have better decoration control ( like wooden lofts acting as a table top and nothing can go on it) then people wouldn't have to use 3rd party tools. Yeah you shouldn't broadcast it but more people mod then they think. So for more reason then naught it is mainly to improve the aesthetics of the game then something from 2013

Can you imagine this guy's grubby fingers filling out that report form?

He is breaking ToS by spamming new threads of subjects that already exist.

You don't think for a second if they added a parser for DPS people wouldn't gatekeep all content with it? "Oh, well we have FFlogs." Very easy to block and filter yourself out and no that doesn't automatically mean DPS shame. It means, my DPS and how I play is absolutely NONE of your business.

It's 7 other people's business when you're deadweight and we can't pass a DPS check on Savage/Ultimate content. :V

I understand ya'll have an attachment toward wasting other people's time but I don't. So...

You already will never be allowed into any half-decent static with hidden logs. You'll typically get ignored or instantly rejected when you apply; Best case scenario you'll be asked a bunch of questions and asked to unhide them.

Hidden logs are perceived as a huge red flag for someone's mental, usually means they're unstable.

Very likely not content they're trying to get into. Which raises the question even more why do they care. I have no answer.

Ties into why it's such a red flag about someone's mental. Being super paranoid about ones logs, and especially feeling motivated to rant on external platforms about how hypothetical people might use those logs, is anxiety-driven, irrational behavior.

so my general takeaway from all countless threads about this is: parsing is toxic because people will expect high parses going into high end content (they don't) or with the addition of an official parse tracker expectations would raise dramatically (they wont, the people that use parsing tools already use them) and on the opposite side, people seem to think their bad parsing will get them flamed by randos in duty finder (which doesn't happen and is already against the rules).
