Privacy from third party sites

[CaedemSanguis]

Just because you wouldn't doesn't mean other's wouldn't. We just had a situation in the Healer strike thread where someone made a spreadsheet of all the posters in that thread using those websites and then posted it on twitter and reddit.

Yeah I agree

But that’s not my point, my point is that in some case, logs are very usefull

That's cheater logic. "This feature that grants me access to data I'm not supposed to know or have, lets me do things in the game I wouldn't do if I didn't know about it."

Fact is, anyone using third party tools to "optimize their DPS" is by definition, cheating.

I respect your opinion, mine is «*if you have dps checks in your game, you should be able to know dps related things*»

I couldn't do it. Maybe you couldn't do it. But I can pretty well guarantee someone out there is enterprising enough to get all the dots connected for quite a lot of players, though not all of them.

ETA: Whether that's what it means in the law, don't have a clue, just that it's pretty incredible what some people can do with a little information and the Internet.

Hey I thought I would let people know that to have your data hidden on FFlogs and tomestone.gg you can go into your profile on the lodestone and put in the description of your profile:

fflogs-hidden
tomestone-hidden

I'm largely unfamiliar with the Lodestone. I logged in to try this functionality out for my own character profile, but I don't see any part of it called "Description". Is it named something else, or am I simply looking in the wrong place? Thanks for any help! ^^

1. Visit https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/my/.
2. There's a section called "Character Profile" near the top. Click the ">".
3. On that page, scroll down to "Character Profile". Click the pencil icon on the right to edit it.

Y'all are way too afraid of a number on a website. All parses do is show how well you are hitting buttons (The right buttons, at yhe right time, in the right order, without gaps).

Can't shake the feeling a lotta folks genuinely aren't as good as they think they are at a trivial timewaster (a game) and get real bent out of shape when people who are don't want to associate with 'em. Hurt pride is a helluva drug.

Also to the lass calling all raiders rude/toxic/etc... Sorry but I disagree. Near every serious raider I've met has been pleasant and understanding. You have to be, because if you start friction in content that takes 40+ hour to clear with the same group (pool, in the case of PF) you will quickly finds yourself booted from groups, blacklisted, or removed from raids.

Anyway, see some of you in Arcadion!

Cheating generally involves modifying inputs.

Checking your logs (which is all parsing really does. It's actually completely possible to do it by hand! Output the contents of your battle log to a file and review it line by line and timestamp by timestamp.) Is no more cheating than making an excel sheet to calculate your finances irl.

Running a parsing program is technically against ToS, but having or checking a parse made by another is not in any way problematic.
