Discrimination of certain jobs - your opinion

[Dzian]

I can say with near 100% certainty that if you're hiding your logs you are probably not good (not you personally, the fictitious person we're referencing). The effort required to review and hide them is often more than the effort these individuals put forth in game.

It really doesn't. i registered my character on fflogs and ticked a check box to make it private. job done never needs to be touched again every parse I'm in past present and future is hidden..

You can upload your own logs if you cared, but again, most people don't put the effort in, and that attitude tends to directly correspond with their skill. If you only have 2 logs up, and they're both sub-par, it means you COULD be a decent player absolutely. But it also means you're a bad bet. Especially when you play the least desirable AND most common job.

the simple fact is that unless players are interested in D*** measuring contents posting public logs simply isn't necessary at all.

i also spend a good portion of my play time on ps4. if I'm using my pc for work or something so fundamentally its impossible to upload parses half the time because i simply have none to upload.

parses also aren't gospel fact in relation to the numbers they produce either. the simplest of things can have a substantial impact on the whole groups dps. right down to where on the battle field the boss is... something a parser or fflogs will never tell you.

how many tanks did you see tank sus ex away from the crack in the centre for example. forcing melee out of range when they had to cross the lightning markers. or in v1s a badly placed boss often makes it hard for any melee to squeeze in around it without overlapping there circles..

don't get me wrong parsers are amazing tools when used correctly. but they will never paint a perfect picture of a groups performance. and as such should never be taken as gospel.

in the end the fact my logs are hidden means nothing to anyone. if someone thinks I'm a bad player because i don't parse and upload everything i do, then i really couldn't care less.

This is simply unfair.

If you don't like parsing and you prefer to keep your logs private then that's fine, but don't make fun of everyone who has public logs just because they have public logs.

I don't want to have to login every time to see mine. I like I can just type my name and find it to see if anything was uploaded and I use it to improve myself. I want to get better and it is easy for me to see what goal I have in order to improve by looking at my best runs.
