There's red flags in your example. Quite possible they wanted to speak to find out if you were female or not.

btw, Parsers need to chill out and mind their own damn business. Some people get a little too wound up over those that aren't even on the same Data Center. I'm minding my own, enjoying the game, running my weeklies, not ruining anyone's run. Leave me be. Consider taking a break from the game. Touch grass. Get touched. I don't care. Just leave me out of it :D

But after 3 pulls I started regret it. It ended up becoming the most uncomfortable call I have ever had, even more than an actual job interview. They tried to get me to talk when I have said specifically I wont talk on mic especially when it has nothing to do with the content. No, I dont care about how much did you drink in your friends birthday party.

First they tried to be funny, then they teased me for being nervous, "dont be shy", etc (I was not, I just couldnt be bothered and wanted to kill some time by playing a video game, I wasnt there to socialize). Then when it all failed and I still didnt talk, I think someone was actually flirting with me, or with my character, or both, with their friends urging "Go on, send them a friend request after the raid" it made me want to turn my PC off right there and then.

I ended up just muting my sound, enjoying the fight with no "background noises". Then after around 30 mins we still couldnt get past phase 1. Someone left, I think they had enough of it, followed by me, instantly. You think Goku instant teleportation is fast? think again. The moment the RDM left (thank you RDM), I pressed Leave button as fast as humanely possible.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that not everyone wants to talk with any strangers they met? it takes time for me to even want to chat in game with someone. Let alone talk in VC.

Lesson learned. Screw PF discord VC.

Nope. If I were in your shoes I would tell those neckbeards that "No means no" and if they had even a single word of protest about that then I would have left.

Chill, he's living in your head rent free :P

Also @ the other post, 100% I would just leave immediately. They're trying to find out if you're a female so they can harass you. Ain't no one got time for that.

Those iron giants in the King Behemoth fight can do more damage than people expect, on top of breaking boulders you need to survive Ecliptic Meteor, but PFFFT it's just Labyrinth, amirite?

Parsing isn't all about the number TBH. Mine are carp for example, but FFLogs tells a lot about the encounter and what the person was doing. Not to mention you can run a log for free on XIVAnalysis which spits out every mistake that was potentially made.

TBH while you may not be ruining people's run, you're not... exactly... pulling your own weight.
69% uptime means you're not casting something more than 1/4th of the time.
You're overhealing.
Not making use of Aetherflow.
Not using your defensive cooldowns almost 80% of the time (Whispering Dawn was used 2 out of a possible 8 times, Fey Illumination 2/4 times, Recitation 1/5 times, Seraph 1/4 times, Protraction 1/8 times and you never used Expedient)
You only use Biolysis half the time
You cancel casts and I don't think Quadruple weaving is... a thing.

Robyn has the right of it. Parsing isn't about numbers, most of the time. It's about figuring out where you need to improve. I'm not telling you to parse, but I will say try to take this information and work on it.

This was your best log, btw.

I'm just in awe right now.

Did my Expert Roulette and got Stigma Dreamscape. Whole group besides me was in i600 gear(I'm only i590 :c) and they knew what they were doing. I've never cleared that fast before. My Inner release(primal rend + 3x decim) was actually still on CD between groups of mobs. Healer didn't really have to do much but DPS(and they did, aaaaaaa). We even skipped the adds on last boss and just wailed on it. Every boss was cleared in one cycle.

I'm not joking though, normally I can run through 3 CDs of Orogeny which is about a minute and a half worth of a pull clear and I'll be top damage as a tank. It felt soooooo good seeing not just one but both DPS out performing for once.

Then don't attack other people. Quite simple.

Remember you started the whole thing by attacking someone who's first few Unreal runs weren't up to your standard just because they had a Legend title, despite you performing far worse. No one log hunts nice people who just do their own thing and no one is looking for a fight. You can play the victim, or you can be humble, learn from it (there's good advice above), move on and people would respect you more.
