Is this truly wrong?

And like I said at the start. Take a 100th player put him in a 10th group and his performance will be nowhere close..

The way you guys are saying things imply comp/kill time is all that factors when it comes to percentiles, which...Is not true at all.

This is from a O5S clear party that I helped yesterday. DPS wasn't very flattering and we didn't have meta comp. As can be seen here 3 people were into the orange/purple zone (even more props to the healers since we had deaths). First and foremost, player skill is the biggest factor when it comes to percentile. Secondly, I'd say it's gear, and then finally group/overall group performance.

Inconsistent groups may lead to deaths, and if you die certainly your percentile is going to be affected - on that end, I can definitely agree that bad PUGs can cause FFLogs to not have an accurate representation of your performance. But if you're pugging and the run is relatively clean for YOU(i.e no deaths, damage down debuffs caused by other people etc), then most of your performance relies entirely on yourself.

A player that can generally perform at a decent level on average is NOT going to have their numbers crushed due to external circumstances or comp alone.
